Psalms 61

1 Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

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

2 To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

From the end of the earth will I cry unto you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

I will abide in your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. (Selah)

5 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

For you, O God, have heard my vows: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.

6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

You will prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

7 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

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

8 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.

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