Psalms 61

ASV(i) 1 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.

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:
Oh 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.
