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.

Psalm 61
For the music leader, with stringed instruments. Of David.
1God, listen to my cry;
pay attention to my prayer!
2When my heart is weak,
I cry out to you from the very ends of the earth.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I am
3because you have been my refuge,
a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
4Please let me live in your tent forever!
Please let me take refuge
in the shelter of your wings! Selah
5Because you, God, have heard my promises;
you’ve given me#61.5 Heb lacks me. the same possession
as those who honor your name.
6Add days to the king’s life!
Let his years extend for many generations!
7Let him be enthroned forever before God!
Make it so love and faithfulness watch over him!
8Then I will sing praises to your name forever,
and I will do what I promised every single day.
