Psalms 61
61
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
2from the end of the earth I call to thee,
when my heart is faint.
Lead thou me
to the rock that is higher than I;
3for thou art my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.
4Let me dwell in thy tent for ever!
Oh to be safe under the shelter of thy wings! Selah
5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows,
thou hast given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.
6Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
7May he be enthroned for ever before God;
bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him!
8So will I ever sing praises to thy name,
as I pay my vows day after day.

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.
