Psalmorum 61

1 in finem in hymnis David exaudi Deus deprecationem meam intende orationi meae

“To the chief musician upon Neginah, by David.” Hear, O God, my entreaty; listen to 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 is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is too high for me.

3 quia factus es spes mea turris fortitudinis a facie inimici

For thou hast been a shelter unto me, a strong tower against the enemy.

4 inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in saecula protegar in velamento alarum tuarum diapsalma

Let me sojourn in thy tent to all eternity; let me be sheltered under the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum

For thou, O God, hast truly listened to my vows: thou hast given back the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 dies super dies regis adicies annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis

Oh, add days unto the king's days: may his years be as of many generations.

7 permanet in aeternum in conspectu Dei misericordiam et veritatem quis requiret eius

May he abide for ever before God: ordain that kindness and truth may guard 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 pay my vows day by day.
