Psalm 61
1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
60:1 In finem. In hymnis David.
2 ¶ Exaudi, Deus, deprecationem meam;
intende orationi meæ.
intende orationi meæ.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 A finibus terræ ad te clamavi, dum anxiaretur cor meum;
in petra exaltasti me.
Deduxisti me,
in petra exaltasti me.
Deduxisti me,
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 quia factus es spes mea:
turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.
turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5 Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula;
protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.
protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6 Quoniam tu, Deus meus, exaudisti orationem meam;
dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum.
dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
7 Dies super dies regis adjicies;
annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis.
annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis.
7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8 Permanet in æternum in conspectu Dei:
misericordiam et veritatem ejus quis requiret?
misericordiam et veritatem ejus quis requiret?
8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
9 Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi,
ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.
ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.
