Psalms 61
Intro: David's service to God based upon his experience in the promises. (To the chief Musician upon Neginah, a Psalm of David.)
1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From 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.
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle forever; I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life; and his years as many generations.
7 He shall abide before God forever; oh prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8 So will I sing praise unto thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
