Psalms 61

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [For the choirmaster For strings Of David] God, hear my cry, listen to my prayer.	1 Unto the end, in hymns, for David.
2 From the end of the earth I cal to you with fainting heart. Lead me to the high rock that stands far outof my reach.	2 Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,
3 For you are my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.	3 To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;
4 Let me stay in your tent for ever, taking refuge in the shelter of your wings!	4 for thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.
5 For you, God, accept my vows, you grant me the heritage of those who fear your name.	5 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.
6 Let the king live on and on, let his years continue age after age.	6 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.
7 May his throne be always in God's presence, your faithful love and constancy watch over him.	7 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.
8 Then I shal always sing to your name, day after day fulfilling my vows.	8 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search ?
	9 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
