祈求上帝保护
大卫作的训诲诗，交给乐长，用弦乐器。
1上帝啊，求你倾听我的呼求，
垂听我的祷告！
2 我心里沮丧之时，
从地极呼求你，
求你领我到高高的磐石上。
3 因为你是我的避难所，
是我抗敌的坚垒。
4 我要永远住在你的圣幕里，
在你翅膀下得荫庇！（细拉）
5 上帝啊，你已经听见我的誓言，
把你赐给敬畏你名之人的产业赐给我。
6 愿你延长王的寿命，
使他的年日恒久。
7 愿他在你的护佑下永远做王，
求你以慈爱和信实来保护他。
8 我要永远歌颂你的名，
天天还我许的愿。
Psalm 61[a]
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
4 I long to dwell in your tent for ever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[b]
5 For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence for ever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
and fulfil my vows day after day.
