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.

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 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.

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 secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

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

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, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to 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 You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the 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 the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

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