1Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
1(61-1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. (61-2) Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
2(61-3) From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.
3For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
3(61-4) For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
4Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
4(61-5) I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. Selah
5For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.
5(61-6) For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.
6Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.
6(61-7) Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!
7May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.
7(61-8) May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.
8Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
8(61-9) So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
