< Psalmorum 61 >

1 Psalmus In finem, In hymnis David. Exaudi Deus deprecationem meam: intende orationi meae.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
2 A finibus terrae ad te clamavi: dum anxiaretur cor meum, in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me,
From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.
For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
4 Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in saecula: protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.
Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
5 Quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam: dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum.
For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.
6 Dies super dies regis adiicies: annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis.
Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.
7 Permanet in aeternum in conspectu Dei: misericordiam et veritatem eius quis requiret?
May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.
8 Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in saeculum saeculi: ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.
Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
