Psalms 61

1 To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto 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 end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for 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 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

因為你是我的避難所，是我抗敵的堅固碉堡。

4 I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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 vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those 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 wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

願你使君王的壽命日增，並使他的年歲萬世無窮!

7 He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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 forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

因此，我要常常歌讚你的名號，為能使我日日償還我的誓約。
