< Psalms 61 >
1 Unto the end. With hymns, of David. O God, pay attention to my supplication. Be attentive to my prayer.
2 I cried out to you from the ends of the earth. When my heart was in anguish, you exalted me on a rock. You have led me,
3 for you have been my hope, a tower of strength before the face of the enemy.
4 I will dwell in your tabernacle forever. I will be protected under the cover of your wings.
5 For you, my God, have listened to my prayer. You have granted an inheritance to those who fear your name.
6 You will add days to the days of the king, to his years, even to the time of generation after generation.
7 He remains in eternity, in the sight of God. Who will long for his mercy and truth?
8 So I will compose a psalm to your name, forever and ever, so that I may repay my vows from day to day.
