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 end, among the Hymns of David. O God, hearken to my petition; 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 have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me:

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

because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

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

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. (Pause)

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

For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

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

Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; [thou shalt lengthen] his years to all generations.

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

He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

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

So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
