Psalm 61

1 Whether that he were in danger of the Ammonites, or being purſued of Abſalom, here he cryeth to be heard & deliuered, 7 And confirmed in his kingdome. 8 He promiſeth perpetual praiſes.
¶ To him that excelleth on Neginóth. A Pſalme of Dauid.
1.HEare my crye, ô God: giue eare vnto my praier.
2.From the ends of the earth wil I crye vnto thee: whẽ mine heart is oppreſt, bring me vpõ the rocke that is higher then I.
3.For thou haſt bene mine hope, & a ſtrõg tower againſt the enemie.
4.I wil dwel in thy Tabernacle for euer, & my truſt ſhal be vnder the couering of thy wings. Sélah.
5.For thou, ô God, haſt heard my deſires: thou haſt giuẽ an heritage vnto thoſe that feare thy Name.
6.Thou ſhalt giue the King a long life: his yeres ſhalbe as manie ages.
7.He ſhal dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie & faithfulnes that they may preſerue him.
8.So wil I alway ſing praiſe vnto thy Name in performing daiely my vowes.
