Psalms 61

1 For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, hearken to my petition; 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 have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me:

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 because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

因為你是我的避難所，是我抗敵的堅固碉堡。

4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. (Pause)

願我常在你的帳幕內寄住，在你的翼護下隱居！

5 For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy 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 Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; [thou shalt lengthen] his years to all generations.

願你使君王的壽命日增，並使他的年歲萬世無窮!

7 He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

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 So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

因此，我要常常歌讚你的名號，為能使我日日償還我的誓約。
