<The Psalms. 61

[1] Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

[2] From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

[3] For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

[4] I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah

[5] For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

[6] Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: his years shall be as many generations.

[7] He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

[8] So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
