Psalms 61

1 Unto the end. With hymns, of David. O God, pay attention to my supplication. Be attentive to my prayer.

Psalmus In finem, In hymnis David. Exaudi Deus deprecationem meam: intende orationi meae.

2 I cried out to you from the ends of the earth. When my heart was in anguish, you exalted me on a rock. You have led me,

A finibus terrae ad te clamavi: dum anxiaretur cor meum, in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me,

3 for you have been my hope, a tower of strength before the face of the enemy.

quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.

4 I will dwell in your tabernacle forever. I will be protected under the cover of your wings.

Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in saecula: protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.

5 For you, my God, have listened to my prayer. You have granted an inheritance to those who fear your name.

Quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam: dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum.

6 You will add days to the days of the king, to his years, even to the time of generation after generation.

Dies super dies regis adiicies: annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis.

7 He remains in eternity, in the sight of God. Who will long for his mercy and truth?

Permanet in aeternum in conspectu Dei: misericordiam et veritatem eius quis requiret?

8 So I will compose a psalm to your name, forever and ever, so that I may repay my vows from day to day.

Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in saeculum saeculi: ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.
