Psalms 61

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

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

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;

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

For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against 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)

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

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

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: 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 wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

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

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

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

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