Psalms 61

1 To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

大衛的詩，交與伶長。用絲弦的樂器。 上帝啊，求你聽我的呼求， 側耳聽我的禱告！

2 From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

我心裏發昏的時候， 我要從地極求告你。 求你領我到那比我更高的磐石！

3 For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

因為你作過我的避難所， 作過我的堅固臺，脫離仇敵。

4 I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah)

我要永遠住在你的帳幕裏！ 我要投靠在你翅膀下的隱密處！ (細拉)

5 For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

上帝啊，你原是聽了我所許的願； 你將產業賜給敬畏你名的人。

6 You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

你要加添王的壽數； 他的年歲必存到世世。

7 May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

他必永遠坐在上帝面前； 願你預備慈愛和誠實保佑他！

8 So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.

這樣，我要歌頌你的名，直到永遠， 好天天還我所許的願。
