Ψαλμοί 61

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

Hear my cry, O Elohim; attend unto my prayer.

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

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

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

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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

For thou, O Elohim, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

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

He shall abide before Elohim for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

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

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
