Psalms 61

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

琴にあはせて伶長にうたはしめたるダビデのうた ああ神よねがはくはわが哭聲をききたまへ わが祈にみこころをとめたまへ

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.

わが心くづほるるとき地のはてより汝をよばん なんぢ我をみちびきてわが及びがたきほどの高き磐にのぼらせたまへ

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

なんぢはわが避所われを仇よりのがれしむる堅固なる櫓なればなり

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

われ永遠になんぢの帷幄にすまはん我なんぢの翼の下にのがれん (セラ)

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

神よなんぢはわがもろもろの誓をきき名をおそるるものにたまふ嗣業をわれにあたへたまへり

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

なんぢは王の生命をのばし その年を幾代にもいたらせたまはん

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

王はとこしへに神のみまへにとどまらん ねがはくは仁慈と眞實とをそなへて彼をまもりたまへ

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

さらば我とこしへに名をほめうたひて日ごとにわがもろもろの誓をつくのひ果さん
