Psalmorum 61

1 In finem, In hymnis David. Exaudi Deus deprecationem meam: intende orationi meæ.

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

2 A finibus terræ ad te clamavi: dum anxiaretur cor meum, in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me,

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 quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.

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

4 Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula: protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.

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

5 Quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam: dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum.

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

6 Dies super dies regis adiicies: annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis.

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

7 Permanet in æternum in conspectu Dei: misericordiam et veritatem eius quis requiret?

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

8 Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi: ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.

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