Psalms 61
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1(61-1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. (61-2) Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
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.
2Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
3(61-4) For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
3For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
4(61-5) I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. Selah
4How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
5(61-6) For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.
5But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
6(61-7) Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!
6But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
7(61-8) May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.
7For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
8(61-9) So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
8In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
