1Al direttore del coro. Per strumenti a corda. Di Davide. O Dio, ascolta il mio grido, sii attento alla mia preghiera.2Dall’estremità della terra io grido a te con cuore affranto; conducimi tu alla rocca che è troppo alta per me;3poiché tu sei stato un rifugio per me, una torre fortificata davanti al nemico.4Abiterò nella tua tenda per sempre, mi riparerò all’ombra delle tue ali. [Pausa]5Poiché tu, o Dio, hai esaudito i miei voti, mi hai dato l’eredità di chi teme il tuo nome.6Aggiungi altri giorni alla vita del re, durino i suoi anni per molte generazioni!7Sieda sul trono in presenza di Dio per sempre! Ordina alla bontà e alla verità di custodirlo;8così loderò il tuo nome per sempre e adempirò ogni giorno le promesse che ti ho fatte.
1Dem Chorleiter. Auf Saitenspiel. Von David.2Höre, Gott, mein Schreien, horche auf mein Gebet! (Sal 17,1)3Vom Ende der Erde rufe ich zu dir, weil mein Herz verzagt; du wollest mich auf den Felsen leiten, der mir zu hoch ist. (Sal 27,5)4Denn du bist mir eine Zuflucht geworden, ein starker Turm vor dem Feind. (Prov 18,10)5Ich möchte weilen in deinem Zelt in Ewigkeit, mich bergen im Schutz[1] deiner Flügel. // (Sal 17,8; Sal 91,2)6Denn du, Gott, hast auf meine Gelübde gehört, hast ⟨mir⟩ gegeben das Erbteil[2] derer, die deinen Namen fürchten. (Sal 16,5)7Du wirst Tage zu den Tagen des Königs hinzufügen; seine Jahre mögen sein wie Generation auf Generation. (Sal 21,5)8Er möge ewig thronen vor dem Angesicht Gottes. Bestelle Gnade und Treue[3], dass sie ihn behüten! (Sal 40,12; Sal 89,5)9So werde ich deinen Namen besingen immerdar; um ⟨damit⟩ meine Gelübde zu erfüllen Tag für Tag. (Sal 50,14)
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David.
1Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; (Sal 55,1; Sal 55,2)2from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, (Sal 18,2; Sal 77,3)3for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. (Sal 14,6; Prov 18,10)4Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah (Sal 15,1; Sal 17,8; Sal 27,4)5For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.6Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! (Sal 21,4; Sal 63,11)7May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him! (Sal 40,11)8So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day. (Sal 50,14)
Salmo 61
King James Version
1To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.2From 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.3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.6Thou wilt prolong the king' life: and his years as many generations.7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
