Psalms 61

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

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

2 I call to You from the end of the land, In the feebleness of my heart, You lead me into a rock higher than I.

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

3 For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

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

4 I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, I trust in the secret place of Your wings. (Selah)

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

5 For You, O God, have listened to my vows, You have appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Your Name.

Quoniam tu, Deus meus, exaudisti orationem meam; dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum.

6 You add days to the days of the king, His years as generation and generation.

Dies super dies regis adjicies; annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis.

7 He dwells before God for all time, Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.

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

8 So I praise Your Name forever, When I pay my vows day by day!

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