Psalms 61 — Side by side (WEB, ASV, DBY, BBE)

1Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

1 Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

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

1 Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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.

2From 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.

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

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

3For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

4I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [Selah

4 I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

4I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah.)

5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

5 For thou, OGod, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

5For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

6Thou wilt prolong the king’s life; His years shall be as many generations.

6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

6You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

7He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

7 He shall abide beforeGod for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

7May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.

8 So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

8So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
