Psalms 61

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

達味作，交與樂官，和以絃樂。 天主，求你俯聽我的哀號，求你細聽我的祈禱。

2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

當我心靈憂戚時，我由地極呼號你，求你領我上那崇高磐石，使我安息。

3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

因為你是我的避難所，是我抗敵的堅固碉堡。

4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

願我常在你的帳幕內寄住，在你的翼護下隱居！

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

天主，你果真滿全了我的志願，賜給了我敬愛你名者的財產。

6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

願你使君王的壽命日增，並使他的年歲萬世無窮!

7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

願他在天主前為王，直至永遠，求你廣施慈愛忠誠，使他安全！

8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

因此，我要常常歌讚你的名號，為能使我日日償還我的誓約。
