Psalms 61

1 To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

2 From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

3 For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

4 I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. (Selah)

5 For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

6 Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

7 He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

8 So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
