Psalms 61

1 For the chief musician; on a stringed instrument. A psalm of David. Hear my cry, God; attend to my prayer.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer.

2 From the ends of the earth will I call to you when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

From the endes of the earth will I crye vnto thee: when mine heart is opprest, bring me vpon the rocke that is higher then I.

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie.

4 Let me live in your tabernacle forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. (Selah)

5 For you, God, have heard my vows, you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.

For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name.

6 You will prolong the king's life; his years will be like many generations.

Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages.

7 He will remain before God forever.

Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him.

8 I will sing praise to your name forever so that I may perform my vows every day.

So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.
