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.

Psalm 61
For the choir director; on a stringed instrument; by David.
1Listen to my cry for help, O God.
Pay attention to my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth, I call to you
when I begin to lose heart.
Lead me to the rock that is high above me.
3You have been my refuge,
a tower of strength against the enemy.
4I would like to be a guest in your tent forever
and to take refuge under the protection of your wings. Selah
5O God, you have heard my vows.
You have given me the inheritance
that belongs to those who fear your name.
6Add days upon days to the life of the king.
May his years endure throughout every generation.
7May he sit enthroned in the presence of God forever.
May mercy and truth protect him.
8Then I will make music to praise your name forever,
as I keep my vows day after day.
