61:1 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.
61:2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
61:3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
61:4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah
61:5 For you have heard my vows, O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
61:6 Increase the days of the king’s life, his years for many generations.
61:7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
61:8 Then will I ever sing praise to your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
61:1 Hear, O God, my cry; / Give heed to my prayer.
61:2 From the end of the earth / I will call out unto You / When my heart faints; / Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
61:3 For You are a refuge to me, / A strong tower before the enemy.
61:4 Let me sojourn in Your tent forever; / Let me take refuge in the covering of Your wings. Selah
61:5 For You, O God, have heard my vows; / You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.
61:6 You will add days to the days of the king; / May his years be like generation after generation.
61:7 May he dwell forever before God; / Appoint lovingkindness and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.
61:8 So I will sing psalms to Your name forever, / As I repay my vows day by day.
