Psalms 61

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

To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto 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 end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

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

For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before 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 sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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 vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

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

He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.
