Psalms 61

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

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

2 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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