Psalm 61

1 For the one directing. On a stringed instrument. Of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> Hear, O God, my cry; attend to my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth I call out to You in the feebleness of my heart; may You lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For You have been a place of refuge for me, a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

4 Let me sojourn in Your Tent forever; I will take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

5 for You, O God, have listend to my vows; You have appointed the inheritance of those fearing Your name.

6 May You add days to the days of the king; [may] his years [be] as generation and generation.

7 May he dwell forever before God; may You appoint loving devotion and faithfulness to guard him.

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may perform my vows, day [by] day.
