Psalm 61

Vers 1

O God, give ear unto my cry;
unto my pray’r attend.
From th’ utmost corner of the land
my cry to thee I’ll send.

Vers 2

What time my heart is overwhelm’d,
and in perplexity,
Do thou me lead unto the Rock
that higher is than I.

Vers 3

For thou hast for my refuge been
a shelter by thy pow’r;
And for defence against my foes
thou hast been a strong tow’r.

Vers 4

Within thy tabernacle I
for ever will abide;
And under covert of thy wings
with confidence me hide.

Vers 5

For thou the vows that I did make,
O Lord my God, didst hear:
Thou hast giv’n me the heritage
of those thy name that fear.

Vers 6

A life prolong’d for many days
thou to the king shalt give;
Like many generations be
the years which he shall live.

Vers 7

He in God’s presence his abode
for evermore shall have:
O do thou truth and mercy both
prepare, that may him save.

Vers 8

And so will I perpetually
sing praise unto thy name;
That having made my vows, I may
each day perform the same.
