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 Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, 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 land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

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

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because 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 sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place 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 hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

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

Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

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

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

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

So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
