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. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, be attentive 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 ends of the earth I call unto you, when my heart is faint: lead me to the rock that is high above me.

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

For you are a refuge to me, a strong tower in face of the foe.

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

O to be guest in your tent forever, hiding beneath your sheltering wings! (Selah)

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

For you, O God, do hear my vows, and grant the desires of those who fear you.

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

Add many days to the life of the king; may his years endure throughout all generations.

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

In the presence of God be he throned forever; may kindness and faithfulness watch over 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.

And I will sing praise to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.
