‏ Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart ^▼▼1 is overwhelmed: Lead me to ^▼▼2 the rock that is higher than I. ^{▼▼1) Or fainteth 2) Or a rock that is too high for me} 3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy. 4 I will dwell in thy ^▼▼1 tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [[Selah ^{▼▼1) Heb tent}

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast ^▼▼1 given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. ^{▼▼1) Or given a heritage unto those etc} 6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life; His years shall be as many generations. 7 He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him. 8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.
