< Psalms 61 >

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)
I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. (Selah)
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!
7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.
8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
