- 61Hear my cry, O God. Attend unto my prayer. 2From the end of the earth will I cry unto you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3For you have been a shelter for me and a strong tower from the enemy. 4I will abide in your tabernacle for ever. I will trust in the cover of your wings. Selah. 5For you, O God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.
- 6You will 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 your name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Psalm 61
