< Psalms 61 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.] Hear my cry, God. 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 most remote place of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Fro the endis of the lond Y criede to thee; the while myn herte was angwischid, thou enhaunsidist me in a stoon.
3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
Thou laddest me forth, for thou art maad myn hope; a tour of strengthe fro the face of the enemye.
4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)
I schal dwelle in thi tabernacle in to worldis; Y schal be keuered in the hilyng of thi wengis.
5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
For thou, my God, hast herd my preier; thou hast youe eritage to hem that dreden thi name.
6 You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for generations.
Thou schalt adde daies on the daies of the king; hise yeeris til in to the dai of generacioun and of generacioun.
7 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
He dwellith with outen ende in the siyt of God; who schal seke the merci and treuthe of hym?
8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows day after 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.
