Psalms 61

To the director; among the hymns to David; a psalm.

61:1Listen, O God, to my supplication! Take heed to my prayer!

61:2From the ends of the earth I cry out to you. In the discouraging of my heart, you lifted me high in the rock; you guided me.

61:3For you became my hope; the tower of strength from in front of an enemy.

61:4I will sojourn in your tent into the eons; I shall be sheltered in the protection of your wings.

61:5For you, O God, listened to my vows. You gave an inheritance to the ones fearing your name.

61:6Days upon days of the king; you shall add of his years unto days of generations and generations.

61:7He shall abide into the eon before God. Who will seek his mercy and truth?

61:8Thus I shall strum to your name into the eons, for me to render my vows day by day.
