Psalms 61

1 To the choirmaster - on a stringed instrument of David. Hear! O God cry of entreaty my pay attention to! prayer my.

To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

2 From [the] end of the earth - to you I call when grows faint heart my on a rock [which] it is high more than me you will lead me.

From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

3 For you have been a refuge of me a tower of strength from before [the] enemy.

For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

4 Let me sojourn in tent your forever let me take refuge in [the] shelter of wings your (Selah)

I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah)

5 For you O God you have listened to vows my you have given [the] possession of [those] fearing name your.

For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

6 Days to [the] days of [the] king you will add years his [be] like a generation and a generation.

You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

7 May he sit forever before God covenant loyalty and faithfulness appoint they will preserve him.

May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

8 Thus I will sing praises to name your for ever to pay I vows my day - day.

So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
