Psalms 61

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

For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; 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 fainteth; lead me to a rock that 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 tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

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

I will dwell 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 granted the heritage 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.

Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!

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

May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy 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 praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
