Psalm 61

1 {to the chief musician upon neginah, a psalm of david } 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
