Psalms
Psalms 61
For the end, among hymns. By David.
1 God, hear my plea; pay attention to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I cried to you when my heart grew weary. You raised me upon a rock,
3 you guided me, because you became my hope, a tower of strength against the enemy.
4 I will live as a foreigner in your tent forever; I will be sheltered under the cover of your wings. Pause.
5 For you, God, heard my vows and gave an inheritance to those who revere your name.
6 You will add days to the king’s days; you will extend his years from generation to generation.
7 He will remain before God forever. Who will seek out his mercy and truth?
8 So I will make music to your name forever and ever, fulfilling my vows day after day.
