Psalmorum 61

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

For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

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

From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.

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

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

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

I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. (Selah)

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

For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.

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

Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!

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

May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

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