1 To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David.
2 \61:1\Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.
3 \61:2\From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.
4 \61:3\For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.
5 \61:4\I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah.)
6 \61:5\For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.
7 \61:6\You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.
8 \61:7\May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.
9 \61:8\So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
1 神啊! 求你听我的呼求, 留心听我的祷告。
2 我内心沮丧的时候, 我从地极向你呼求; 求你领我到那比我更高的磐石上面去。
3 因为你作过我的避难所, 作过我逃避仇敌的坚固堡垒。
4 我要永远住在你的帐棚里, 投靠在你翅膀下的隐密处。(细拉)
5 神啊! 你听了我所许的愿; 你把产业赐给敬畏你名的人。
6 愿你增添王的寿数; 愿他的年日世世无穷。
7 愿他在 神面前永远作王; 愿你指派慈爱和诚实保护他。
8 这样, 我要永远歌颂你的名, 并且天天还我向你所许的愿。
