Psalms 61

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

1HearH8085 my cryH7440, O GodH430; attendH7181 unto my prayerH8605.

2From the endH7097 of the earthH776 will I cryH7121 unto thee, when my heartH3820 is overwhelmedH5848: leadH5148 me to the rockH6697 that is higherH7311 than I.

3For thou hast been a shelterH4268 for me, and a strongH5797 towerH4026 fromH6440 the enemyH341.

4I will abideH1481 in thy tabernacleH168 for everH5769: I will trustH2620 in the covertH5643 of thy wingsH3671. SelahH5542.1

5For thou, O GodH430, hast heardH8085 my vowsH5088: thou hast givenH5414 me the heritageH3425 of those that fearH3373 thy nameH8034.

6Thou wilt prolongH3254 the king’sH4428 lifeH3117: and his yearsH8141 as manyH1755 generationsH1755.23

7He shall abideH3427 beforeH6440 GodH430 for everH5769: O prepareH4487 mercyH2617 and truthH571, which may preserveH5341 him.

8So will I singH2167 praise unto thy nameH8034 for everH5703, that I may dailyH3117 performH7999 my vowsH5088.
