Ψαλμοί 61

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

Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

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

To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

3 ὡδήγησάς με ὅτι ἐγενήθης ἐλπίς μου πύργος ἰσχύος ἀπὸ προσώπου ἐχθροῦ

For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

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

In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

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

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

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

He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

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

So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
