< Psalms 61 >

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:
TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.
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.
3 For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.
For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
4 I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. (Selah)
I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, I trust in the secret place of Your wings. (Selah)
5 For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.
For You, O God, have listened to my vows, You have appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Your Name.
6 Days—unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:
You add days to the days of the king, His years as generation and generation.
7 Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!
He dwells before God for all time, Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.
8 So, will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.
So I praise Your Name forever, When I pay my vows day by day!
