Psalms 61

1 <To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David.> Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

2 From 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.

3 For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.

4 I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah.)

4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

5 For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

5 For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

6 Increase the days of the king’s life, his years for many generations.

7 May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

8 So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.

8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
