Psalmorum 61

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

To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend 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 land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

3 quia factus es spes mea turris fortitudinis a facie inimici

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

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

I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. (Selah)

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

For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

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

Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

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

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

8 sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in saeculum saeculi ut reddam vota mea de die in diem

So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
