Psalm 61

To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.

1Hear, O 1God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

3For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

4I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5For thou, O 2God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

6Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

7He shall abide before 3God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

8So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.
