Psalm 61

For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

1Hear my cry, O God;

Attend unto my prayer.

2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3For thou hast been a refuge for me,

A strong tower from the enemy.

4I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever:

I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah

5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:

Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6Thou wilt prolong the king’s life;

His years shall be as many generations.

7He shall abide before God forever:

Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

8So will I sing praise unto thy name forever,

That I may daily perform my vows.
