< Psalms 61 >
1 “To the chief musician upon Neginah, by David.” Hear, O God, my entreaty; listen to my prayer.
To the victorie on orgun, to Dauid hym silf. God, here thou my biseching; yyue thou tent to my preyer.
2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is too high for me.
Fro the endis of the lond Y criede to thee; the while myn herte was angwischid, thou enhaunsidist me in a stoon.
3 For thou hast been a shelter unto me, a strong tower against the enemy.
Thou laddest me forth, for thou art maad myn hope; a tour of strengthe fro the face of the enemye.
4 Let me sojourn in thy tent to all eternity; let me be sheltered under the covert of thy wings. (Selah)
I schal dwelle in thi tabernacle in to worldis; Y schal be keuered in the hilyng of thi wengis.
5 For thou, O God, hast truly listened to my vows: thou hast given back the heritage of those that fear thy name.
For thou, my God, hast herd my preier; thou hast youe eritage to hem that dreden thi name.
6 Oh, add days unto the king's days: may his years be as of many generations.
Thou schalt adde daies on the daies of the king; hise yeeris til in to the dai of generacioun and of generacioun.
7 May he abide for ever before God: ordain that kindness and truth may guard him.
He dwellith with outen ende in the siyt of God; who schal seke the merci and treuthe of hym?
8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may pay my vows day by day.
So Y schal seie salm to thi name in to the world of world; that Y yelde my vowis fro dai in to dai.
