Psalms. 61. To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer. 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. For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy. I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah. For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given me the inheritance of those that fear thy name. Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations. He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him. So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.
