61 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

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.

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Salmo 61 (60)

Quisiera morar en tu Tienda

61 Al maestro del coro. Con instrumentos de cuerda. De David.
Oye, oh Dios, mi clamor, escucha mi ruego.
Desde el confín de la tierra te llamo
mientras mi corazón desfallece;
llévame a la roca que se alza inaccesible,
porque tú eres para mí un refugio,
una fortaleza frente al enemigo.
Quisiera morar siempre en tu Tienda,
refugiarme al amparo de tus alas,
pues tú, Dios, aceptaste mis promesas,
me diste la heredad de quien te honra.
Concede largos años al rey,
que dure su vida por generaciones.
¡Que él reine por siempre ante Dios!
Convoca para protegerlo al amor y a la verdad;
yo cantaré eternamente tu nombre
y cumpliré mis promesas día tras día.

From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For You have been a shelter for me,
(A)A strong tower from the enemy.
I will abide in Your [b]tabernacle forever;
(B)I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

For You, O God, have heard my vows;
You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.
You will prolong the king’s life,
His years as many generations.

Oh, prepare mercy (C)and truth, which may [c]preserve him!

So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may daily perform my vows.
