61:1  {To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.} Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

61:2  From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my eart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

61:3  For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

61:4  I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

61:5  For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

61:6  Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

61:7  He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

61:8  So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.
