Psalms 61

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 For the leader; with stringed instruments. Of David.	1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 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.
3 From the brink of Sheol I call; my heart grows faint. Raise me up, set me on a rock,	3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 for you are my refuge, a tower of strength against the foe.	4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5 Then I will ever dwell in your tent, take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah	5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6 O God, when you accept my vows and hear the plea of those who revere your name in prayer:	6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
7 "Add to the days of the king's life; may his years be many generations;	7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8 May he reign before God forever; may your love and fidelity preserve him"--	8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
9 Then I will sing your name forever, fulfill my vows day after day.
