The Psalms 61

Confidence in God’s Protection

To the chief Musician upon Neg’inah, A Psalm of David.

Hear my cry, O God;

attend unto my prayer.

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;

for thou hast been a shelter for me,

and a strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever:

I will trust in the covert of thy wings.

Selah.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:

thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Thou wilt prolong the king’s life:

and his years as many generations.

He shall abide before God for ever:

O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,

that I may daily perform my vows.
