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.
