Psalms 61

1 Hear, OGod, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

2Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

3For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

4 I will sojourn 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 For thou, OGod, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance 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 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

6But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

7 He shall abide beforeGod for ever: bestow loving-kindness 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 So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

8In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
