Psalm 61
Jubilee Bible 2000
To the Overcomer upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.
1 ¶ Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I will 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 for ever; I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5 ¶ For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given an inheritance to those that fear thy name.
6 Thou wilt add days upon days unto the king’s life; his years shall be from generation to generation.
7 He shall abide before God for ever; He is aware of mercy and truth which preserve him.
8 So I will sing thy name for ever, performing my vows each day.
