Psalms 61

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

Sh'ma ·Hear obey· my cry, God. Listen to 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, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from 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 your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

For you, God, have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

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

You will prolong the king’s life; his years shall be for generations.

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

He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your cheshed ·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 I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
