Psalms 61 — Side by side (WEB, ASV, DRA, KJV)

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

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

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

1Hear my cry, O God; attend unto 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.

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

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

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

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

3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4I will dwell in thy tabernacle 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.

4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given me 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.

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

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

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

6Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

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

7For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8So 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.

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