Psalms 61

King James Bible	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.	¹ To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer;
² From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.	² from the end of the earth I call to thee, when my heart is faint. Lead thou me to the rock that is higher than I;
³ For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.	³ for thou art my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.
⁴ I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.	⁴ Let me dwell in thy tent for ever! Oh to be safe under the shelter of thy wings! [Selah]
⁵ For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.	⁵ For thou, O God, hast heard my vows, thou hast given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.
⁶ Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.	⁶ Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations!
⁷ He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.	⁷ May he be enthroned for ever before God; bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him!
⁸ So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.	⁸ So will I ever sing praises to thy name, as I pay my vows day after day.
