Psalms 61

1 To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

εἰς τὸ τέλος ἐν ὕμνοις τῷ Δαυιδ εἰσάκουσον ὁ θεός τῆς δεήσεώς μου πρόσχες τῇ προσευχῇ μου

2 From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

ἀπὸ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς πρὸς σὲ ἐκέκραξα ἐν τῷ ἀκηδιάσαι τὴν καρδίαν μου ἐν πέτρᾳ ὕψωσάς με

3 For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

ὡδήγησάς με ὅτι ἐγενήθης ἐλπίς μου πύργος ἰσχύος ἀπὸ προσώπου ἐχθροῦ

4 I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. (Selah)

παροικήσω ἐν τῷ σκηνώματί σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας σκεπασθήσομαι ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου διάψαλμα

5 For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

ὅτι σύ ὁ θεός εἰσήκουσας τῶν εὐχῶν μου ἔδωκας κληρονομίαν τοῖς φοβουμένοις τὸ ὄνομά σου

6 Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

ἡμέρας ἐφ’ ἡμέρας βασιλέως προσθήσεις ἔτη αὐτοῦ ἕως ἡμέρας γενεᾶς καὶ γενεᾶς

7 He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

διαμενεῖ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν αὐτοῦ τίς ἐκζητήσει

8 So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!

οὕτως ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἀποδοῦναί με τὰς εὐχάς μου ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας
