Psalms 61

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

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 end of the earth will I cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed: 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 a shelter for me, and a strong tower from 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 abide in your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. (Selah)

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

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

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

You will prolong the king’s life: and his years 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: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

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

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