Psalms 61

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

For the leader. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, be attentive 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 ends of the earth I call unto you, when my heart is faint: lead me to the rock that is high above me.

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

For you are a refuge to me, a strong tower in face of the foe.

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

O to be guest in your tent forever, hiding beneath your sheltering 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, do hear my vows, and grant the desires of those who fear you.

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

Add many days to the life of the king; may his years endure throughout all generations.

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

In the presence of God be he throned forever; may kindness and faithfulness watch over him.

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

And I will sing praise to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.
