61:1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; 61:2 from the end of the earth I call to thee, when my heart is faint. Lead thou me to the rock that is higher than I; 61:3 for thou art my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. 61:4 Let me dwell in thy tent for ever! Oh to be safe under the shelter of thy wings! [Selah] 61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows, thou hast given me the heritage of those who fear thy name. 61:6 Prolong the life of the king;may his years endure to all generations! 61:7 May he be enthroned for ever before God;bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him! 61:8 So will I ever sing praises to thy name, as I pay my vows day after day. 61:9
