Psalms 61

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer.

2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

From the endes of the earth will I crye vnto thee: when mine heart is opprest, bring me vpon the rocke that is higher then I.

3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie.

4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. (Selah)

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name.

6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages.

7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him.

8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.
