Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

達味作，交與樂官，和以絃樂。 天主，求你俯聽我的哀號，求你細聽我的祈禱。

2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

當我心靈憂戚時，我由地極呼號你，求你領我上那崇高磐石，使我安息。

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

因為你是我的避難所，是我抗敵的堅固碉堡。

4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

願我常在你的帳幕內寄住，在你的翼護下隱居！

5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

天主，你果真滿全了我的志願，賜給了我敬愛你名者的財產。

6 You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

願你使君王的壽命日增，並使他的年歲萬世無窮!

7 He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

願他在天主前為王，直至永遠，求你廣施慈愛忠誠，使他安全！

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.

因此，我要常常歌讚你的名號，為能使我日日償還我的誓約。
