PSALM 61
To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
1Hear, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim my cry; attend unto my prayer. 2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me. 3For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy. 4I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5For thou, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim hast heard my vows; thou hast given me the inheritance of those that fear thy name. 6Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations. 7He shall abide before God#GodHebrew: Elohim for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him. 8So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to 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.
