Psalms 61

1 “To the chief musician upon Neginah, by David.” Hear, O God, my entreaty; listen to my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is too high for me.

3 For thou hast been a shelter unto me, a strong tower against the enemy.

4 Let me sojourn in thy tent to all eternity; let me be sheltered under the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 For thou, O God, hast truly listened to my vows: thou hast given back the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 Oh, add days unto the king's days: may his years be as of many generations.

7 May he abide for ever before God: ordain that kindness and truth may guard him.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may pay my vows day by day.
