Psalms 61

  1. 1 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

  2. 2 From 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.

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

  4. 4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [Selah

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

  6. 6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life; His years shall be as many generations.

  7. 7 He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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