< Psalms 61 >

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 I call to You from the end of the land, In the feebleness of my heart, You lead me into a rock higher than I.
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.
3 For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, I trust in the secret place of Your wings. (Selah)
I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)
5 For You, O God, have listened to my vows, You have appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Your Name.
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6 You add days to the days of the king, His years as generation and generation.
Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: [and] his years as many generations.
7 He dwells before God for all time, Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.
He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him.
8 So I praise Your Name forever, When I pay my vows day by day!
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
