Psalm 61

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

1Hear my cry, O God;

Attend unto my prayer.

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

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3For thou hast been a shelter for me,

And a strong tower from the enemy.

4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever:

I will trust 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:

And his years as many generations.

7He shall abide before God for ever:

O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,

That I may daily perform my vows.
