The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 61

 

 

1.

 

To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David.
Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

    
 
 

2.

 

From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

    
 
 

3.

 

For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

    
 
 

4.

 

I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah.)

    
 
 

5.

 

For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

    
 
 

6.

 

You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

    
 
 

7.

 

May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

    
 
 

8.

 

So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
