Psalms 61

1 God, listen to me, and answer my prayer [DOU]!

To the victorie on orgun, to Dauid hym silf. God, here thou my biseching; yyue thou tent to my preyer.

2 While I am discouraged and far from my home, I am calling out to you. Lead me to [the place that is like] a high rock [MET] on top of which I will be safe.

Fro the endis of the lond Y criede to thee; the while myn herte was angwischid, thou enhaunsidist me in a stoon.

3 You have been my refuge; you have been [like] a strong tower [MET] [in which I am safe] from being attacked by my enemies.

Thou laddest me forth, for thou art maad myn hope; a tour of strengthe fro the face of the enemye.

4 Allow me to live close to your temple all during my life [HYP]! Allow me to be safe [MET], [like a little bird is safe] under [its mother’s] wings.

I schal dwelle in thi tabernacle in to worldis; Y schal be keuered in the hilyng of thi wengis.

5 God, you heard me when I solemnly promised [to give offerings to you]; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you [MTY].

For thou, my God, hast herd my preier; thou hast youe eritage to hem that dreden thi name.

6 [I am] the king [of Israel]; [please] allow me to live [and rule] for many years, and allow my descendants to rule [also].

Thou schalt adde daies on the daies of the king; hise yeeris til in to the dai of generacioun and of generacioun.

7 Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.

He dwellith with outen ende in the siyt of God; who schal seke the merci and treuthe of hym?

8 If you do that, I will always sing to praise you [MTY] while I offer to you each day the sacrifices that I promised to give to you.

So Y schal seie salm to thi name in to the world of world; that Y yelde my vowis fro dai in to dai.
