Psalms 61

1 Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

大衛的詩，交與伶長。用絲弦的樂器。 上帝啊，求你聽我的呼求， 側耳聽我的禱告！

2 To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

我心裏發昏的時候， 我要從地極求告你。 求你領我到那比我更高的磐石！

3 For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

因為你作過我的避難所， 作過我的堅固臺，脫離仇敵。

4 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

我要永遠住在你的帳幕裏！ 我要投靠在你翅膀下的隱密處！ (細拉)

5 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

上帝啊，你原是聽了我所許的願； 你將產業賜給敬畏你名的人。

6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

你要加添王的壽數； 他的年歲必存到世世。

7 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

他必永遠坐在上帝面前； 願你預備慈愛和誠實保佑他！

8 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.

這樣，我要歌頌你的名，直到永遠， 好天天還我所許的願。
