Psalms 61

1 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

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

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.

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

3 For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

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

4 I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. (Selah)

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

5 For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.

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

6 Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!

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

7 May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

8 So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi: ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.
