Psalm 61

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

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

2. From 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.

3. For thou hast been a shelter for me,

and a strong tower from the enemy.

4. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever:

I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

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

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

6. Thou wilt prolong the king’s life:

and his years as many generations.

7. He shall abide before God for ever:

O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

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

that I may daily perform my vows.
