Chapter 61
Psalms
Verse 1Hear my cry, O God,listen to my prayer;Verse 2from the end of the earth I call to youwhen my heart is faint.Lead me to the rockthat is higher than I,Verse 3for you have been my refuge,a strong tower against the enemy.Verse 4Let me dwell in your tent forever!Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! SelahVerse 5For you, O God, have heard my vows;you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.Verse 6Prolong the life of the king;may his years endure to all generations!Verse 7May he be enthroned forever before God;appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!Verse 8So will I ever sing praises to your name,as I perform my vows day after day.
