The Psalms

Psalm 61

For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

 ^61:1Hear my cry, O God;

 Attend unto my prayer.

 ^61:2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:

 Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

 ^61:3For thou hast been a refuge for me,

 A strong tower from the enemy.

 ^61:4I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever:

 I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings.

Selah

 ^61:5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:

 Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

 ^61:6Thou wilt prolong the king's life;

 His years shall be as many generations.

 ^61:7He shall abide before God for ever:

 Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

 ^61:8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,

 That I may daily perform my vows.
