Psalms 61
You Have Heard My Vows
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1 Hear my cry, O God;
attend to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You
whenever my heart is faint.
2 Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I.
3 For You have been my refuge,
a tower of strength against the enemy.
4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
4 Selah
5 For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance
5 reserved for those who fear Your name.
6 Increase the days of the king’s life;
may his years span many generations.
7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint Your loving devotion
7 and Your faithfulness to guard him.
8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name
and fulfill my vows day by day.
