詩篇 61

1 ああ神よねがはくはわが哭聲をききたまへ わが祈にみこころをとめたまへ

Sh'ma ·Hear obey· my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

2 わが心くづほるるとき地のはてより汝をよばん なんぢ我をみちびきてわが及びがたきほどの高き磐にのぼらせたまへ

From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 なんぢはわが避所われを仇よりのがれしむる堅固なる櫓なればなり

For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 われ永遠になんぢの帷幄にすまはん我なんぢの翼の下にのがれん (セラ)

I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

5 神よなんぢはわがもろもろの誓をきき名をおそるるものにたまふ嗣業をわれにあたへたまへり

For you, God, have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 なんぢは王の生命をのばし その年を幾代にもいたらせたまはん

You will prolong the king’s life; his years shall be for generations.

7 王はとこしへに神のみまへにとどまらん ねがはくは仁慈と眞實とをそなへて彼をまもりたまへ

He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your chesed ·loving-kindness· and truth, that they may preserve him.

8 さらば我とこしへに名をほめうたひて日ごとにわがもろもろの誓をつくのひ果さん

So I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
