Psalm 61
1599 Geneva Bible

61 1 Whether that he were in danger of the Ammonites, or being pursued of Absalom, here he crieth to be heard and delivered, 7 And confirmed in his kingdom. 8 He promiseth perpetual praises.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God: give ear unto my prayer.

2 From [a]the ends of the earth will I cry unto thee: when mine heart is oppressed, bring me upon the rock that is [b]higher than I.

3 For thou hast been my hope, and a strong tower against the enemy.

4 I will dwell in thy Tabernacle forever, and my trust shall be under the covering of thy wings. Selah.

5 For thou, O God, [c]hast heard my desires; thou hast given an heritage unto those that fear thy Name.

6 Thou shalt give the King a [d]long life; his years shall be as many ages.

7 He shall dwell before God forever; prepare [e]mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.

8 So will I always sing praise unto thy Name, in performing daily my vows.
