Psalms 61

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer.

For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2 From 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.

From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.

3 For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie.

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

4 I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. (Selah)

I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. (Selah)

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name.

For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.

6 Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages.

Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!

7 Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him.

May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.

8 So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.

So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
