Psalms 61
61
Psalm 61#In Hebrew texts 61:1-8 is numbered 61:2-9.
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
4I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.#61:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
5For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
7May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.

Psalm 61
To the Overcomer upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.
1¶ Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2From the end of the earth I will cry unto thee when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For thou hast been a shelter for me and a strong tower from the enemy.
4I 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 an inheritance to those that fear thy name.
6Thou wilt add days upon days unto the king’s life; his years shall be from generation to generation.
7He shall abide before God for ever; He is aware of mercy and truth which preserve him.
8So I will sing thy name for ever, performing my vows each day.
