Psalms 61

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

To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

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

From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

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

For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

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

I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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

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

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

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

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

He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.
