Psalmorum 61

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

For the chief musician; on a stringed instrument. A psalm of David. Hear my cry, 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 will I call to you when 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 a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

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

Let me live in your tabernacle forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

For you, God, have heard my vows, you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.

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

You will prolong the king's life; his years will be like many generations.

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

He will remain before God forever.

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

I will sing praise to your name forever so that I may perform my vows every day.
