Psalms 61

1 For the end, amongst the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer.

in finem in hymnis David exaudi Deus deprecationem meam intende orationi meae

2 From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

a finibus terrae ad te clamavi dum anxiaretur cor meum in petra exaltasti me deduxisti me

3 because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

quia factus es spes mea turris fortitudinis a facie inimici

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

inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in saecula protegar in velamento alarum tuarum diapsalma

5 For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum

6 You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations.

dies super dies regis adicies annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis

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

permanet in aeternum in conspectu Dei misericordiam et veritatem quis requiret eius

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

sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in saeculum saeculi ut reddam vota mea de die in diem
