Psalms, 61

1. For the leader; with stringed instruments. Of David.

2. Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer!

3. From the brink of Sheol I call; my heart grows faint. Raise me up, set me on a rock,

4. for you are my refuge, a tower of strength against the foe.

5. Then I will ever dwell in your tent, take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah

6. O God, when you accept my vows and hear the plea of those who revere your name in prayer:

7. "Add to the days of the king's life; may his years be many generations;

8. May he reign before God forever; may your love and fidelity preserve him"--

9. Then I will sing your name forever, fulfill my vows day after day.
