Psalms 61

1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. God, please hear my cry for help; please listen 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 this distant place, far from home, I cry out to you as my courage fails. Take me to a rock high above me where I will be safe,

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 you are my protection, a strong tower where my enemies cannot attack me.

因為你是我的避難所，是我抗敵的堅固碉堡。

4 Let me live with you forever; protect me under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

願我常在你的帳幕內寄住，在你的翼護下隱居！

5 For you, God, have heard the promises I've made. You have given all those who love your character your special blessing.

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 Please give the king many extra years; may his reign last through generations.

願你使君王的壽命日增，並使他的年歲萬世無窮!

7 May he always live in your presence; may your trustworthy love and faithfulness protect 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 Then I will always sing praises to you, and every day I will keep my promises to you.

因此，我要常常歌讚你的名號，為能使我日日償還我的誓約。
