Psalmorum 61

1 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 diapsalma

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 adicies 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 quis requiret eius

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.
