< Psalmorum 61 >
1 in finem in hymnis David exaudi Deus deprecationem meam intende orationi meae
For the leader. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, be attentive 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 unto you, when my heart is faint: lead me to the rock that is high above me.
3 quia factus es spes mea turris fortitudinis a facie inimici
For you are a refuge to me, a strong tower in face of the foe.
4 inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in saecula protegar in velamento alarum tuarum diapsalma
O to be guest in your tent forever, hiding beneath your sheltering wings! (Selah)
5 quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum
For you, O God, do hear my vows, and grant the desires of those who fear you.
6 dies super dies regis adicies annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis
Add many days to the life of the king; may his years endure throughout all generations.
7 permanet in aeternum in conspectu Dei misericordiam et veritatem quis requiret eius
In the presence of God be he throned forever; may kindness and faithfulness watch over him.
8 sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in saeculum saeculi ut reddam vota mea de die in diem
And I will sing praise to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.
