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 trust61-1 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.Thou61-3s="note-ref-sup">61-2 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.
