PSALM 61
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician upon Neginoth,
A Psalm of David.
1O God, give ear unto my cry;
unto my pray'r attend.
2From th' utmost corner of the land
my cry to thee I'll send.
What time my heart is overwhelm'd,
and in perplexity,
Do thou me lead unto the Rock
that higher is than I.
3For thou hast for my refuge been
a shelter by thy pow'r;
And for defence against my foes
thou hast been a strong tow'r.
4Within thy tabernacle I
for ever will abide;
And under covert of thy wings
with confidence me hide.
5For thou the vows that I did make,
O Lord my God, didst hear:
Thou hast giv'n me the heritage
of those thy name that fear.
6A life prolong'd for many days
thou to the king shalt give;
Like many generations be
the years which he shall live.
7He in God's presence his abode
for evermore shall have:
O do thou truth and mercy both
prepare, that may him save.
8And so will I perpetually
sing praise unto thy name;
That having made my vows, I may
each day perform the same.

Psalms 61
61
1To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer. 2From the endes of the earth will I crye vnto thee: when mine heart is opprest, bring me vpon the rocke that is higher then I. 3For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie. 4I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. Selah. 5For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name. 6Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages. 7Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him. 8So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.
