Psalms

Psalm 61

1 HEAR my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed; for thou hast led me upon a rock and hast comforted me.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from my enemies,

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever; I will make my refuge the shadow of thy wings.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given an inheritance to them that revere thy name.

6 Thou hast added days to the days of the king, and his years as many generations.

7 He shall be established before God for ever; mercy and justice shall preserve him.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, when daily I fulfil my vows.
