Psalm 61

1 For the leader. With stringed instruments. By David: Hear my cry, God; listen to my prayer.

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.

2 From the end of the earth, with fainting heart, I call out to you. Set me down on a rock far above where I am now.

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.

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the foe.

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

4 I will live in your tent forever and find refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

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

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.

6 Prolong the life of the king! May his years go on for many generations.

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

7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever! Appoint grace and truth to preserve him!

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

8 Then I will sing praise to your name forever, as day after day I fulfill my vows.

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