Psalms 61

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

in finem in hymnis David exaudi Deus deprecationem meam intende orationi meae

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.

a finibus terrae ad te clamavi dum anxiaretur cor meum in petra exaltasti me deduxisti me

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

quia factus es spes mea turris fortitudinis a facie inimici

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

inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in saecula protegar in velamento alarum tuarum diapsalma

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

quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum

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

dies super dies regis adicies annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis

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

permanet in aeternum in conspectu Dei misericordiam et veritatem quis requiret eius

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

sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in saeculum saeculi ut reddam vota mea de die in diem
