Psalms 61

1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

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

2 From the end of the earth will I cry to thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.

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

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy.

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

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam: dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as many generations.

Dies super dies regis adiicies: annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him.

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

8 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

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