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 chief musician; on a stringed instrument. A psalm of David. Hear my cry, 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 will I call to you when 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 a refuge for me, 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)

Let me live in your tabernacle forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter 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, God, have heard my vows, you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.

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

You will prolong the king's life; his years will be like many generations.

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

He will remain before God forever.

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

I will sing praise to your name forever so that I may perform my vows every day.
