The Psalms 61


Confidence in God’s Protection
To the chief Musician upon Neg’inah, A Psalm of David.

1  Hear my cry, O God;
        
attend unto my prayer.
2  From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,
        
when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I;
3  for thou hast been a shelter for me,
        
and a strong tower from the enemy.
4  I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever:
        
I will trust in the covert of thy wings.
Selah.
5  For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:
        
thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6  Thou wilt prolong the king’s life:
        
and his years as many generations.
7  He shall abide before God for ever:
        
O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8  So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,
        
that I may daily perform my vows.
