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 meae

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 terrae 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 saecula protegar in velamento alarum tuarum diapsalma

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 adicies 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 aeternum in conspectu Dei misericordiam et veritatem quis requiret eius

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

sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in saeculum saeculi ut reddam vota mea de die in diem
