Psalm 61

Psalm LXI.

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

Hear my cry, O God;

^aAttend unto my prayer.

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

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

³For thou hast been a ^cshelter for me,

And ^da strong tower from the enemy.

⁴I will ^eabide in thy tabernacle for ever:

I will ^ftrust 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.

^6gThou wilt prolong ^hthe king’s life:

And his years as many generations.

⁷He shall abide before God for ever:

O prepare ⁱmercy and truth, which may preserve him.

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

That I may daily ^jperform my vows.
