Psalm 61
Confidence in God's
Protection |
To the chief Musician upon
Neg'inah, A Psalm of
David. |
|
1 |
Hear my cry, O God;
|
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. |
