Psalms 61

1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O 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 end of the earth will I cry to thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: 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 thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy.

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

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as many generations.

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

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him.

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

8 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

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