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.
