Psalms 61

King James Version

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

Berean Standard Bible

¹For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. ²From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. ³For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy. ⁴Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah ⁵For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name. ⁶Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations. ⁷May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him. ⁸Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
