Psalms 61
61
To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David.
1Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
2From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.
3For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
4I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.
5For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.
6Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.
7He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.
8So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by 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.
