Psalms 61

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Unto the end, in hymns, for David.	1 For the leader; with stringed instruments. Of David.
2 Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,	2 Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer!
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;	3 From the brink of Sheol I call; my heart grows faint. Raise me up, set me on a rock,
4 for thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.	4 for you are my refuge, a tower of strength against the foe.
5 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.	5 Then I will ever dwell in your tent, take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah
6 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.	6 O God, when you accept my vows and hear the plea of those who revere your name in prayer:
7 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.	7 "Add to the days of the king's life; may his years be many generations;
8 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search ?	8 May he reign before God forever; may your love and fidelity preserve him"--
9 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.	9 Then I will sing your name forever, fulfill my vows day after day.
