Psalms 61

1 For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend 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 From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide 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 because you were my hope, a tower of strength from 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 I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. (Pause)

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 you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your 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 You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations.

你要加添王的壽數； 他的年歲必存到世世。

7 He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

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 to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

這樣，我要歌頌你的名，直到永遠， 好天天還我所許的願。
