Psalms 61

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

琴にあはせて伶長にうたはしめたるダビデのうた ああ神よねがはくはわが哭聲をききたまへ わが祈にみこころをとめたまへ

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.

わが心くづほるるとき地のはてより汝をよばん なんぢ我をみちびきてわが及びがたきほどの高き磐にのぼらせたまへ

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

なんぢはわが避所われを仇よりのがれしむる堅固なる櫓なればなり

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

われ永遠になんぢの帷幄にすまはん我なんぢの翼の下にのがれん (セラ)

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

神よなんぢはわがもろもろの誓をきき名をおそるるものにたまふ嗣業をわれにあたへたまへり

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

なんぢは王の生命をのばし その年を幾代にもいたらせたまはん

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

王はとこしへに神のみまへにとどまらん ねがはくは仁慈と眞實とをそなへて彼をまもりたまへ

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

さらば我とこしへに名をほめうたひて日ごとにわがもろもろの誓をつくのひ果さん
