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.

1For the leader. With stringed instruments. By David:
2Hear my cry, God;
listen to my prayer.
3From the end of the earth, with fainting heart,
I call out to you.
Set me down on a rock
far above where I am now.
4For you have been a refuge for me,
a tower of strength in the face of the foe.
5I will live in your tent forever
and find refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)
6For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
7Prolong the life of the king!
May his years go on for many generations.
8May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever!
Appoint grace and truth to preserve him!
9Then I will sing praise to your name forever,
as day after day I fulfill my vows.
