Salmi 61
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
Preghiera di un esiliato
61 Al maestro del coro. Per strumenti a corda. Di Davide.
2 Ascolta, o Dio, il mio grido,
sii attento alla mia preghiera.
3 Dai confini della terra io t'invoco;
mentre il mio cuore viene meno,
guidami su rupe inaccessibile.
4 Tu sei per me rifugio,
torre salda davanti all'avversario.
5 Dimorerò nella tua tenda per sempre,
all'ombra delle tue ali troverò riparo;
6 perché tu, Dio, hai ascoltato i miei voti,
mi hai dato l'eredità di chi teme il tuo nome.
7 Ai giorni del re aggiungi altri giorni,
per molte generazioni siano i suoi anni.
8 Regni per sempre sotto gli occhi di Dio;
grazia e fedeltà lo custodiscano.
9 Allora canterò inni al tuo nome, sempre,
sciogliendo i miei voti giorno per giorno.
Psalm 61
King James Version
61 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
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 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
