Psalm 61:1

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

O God, give ear unto my cry; unto my pray'r attend.

See the chapter Copy

Give ear unto me when I call, God of my righteousness: Have mercy, hear my pray'r; thou hast enlarg'd me in distress.

Hear, Lord, my pray'r; unto the voice of my request attend:

My voice, Lord, do thou hear: Unto my supplication's voice give an attentive ear.

Save me, O God, by thy great name, and judge me by thy strength:

Lord, hear the right, attend my cry, unto my pray'r give heed, That doth not in hypocrisy from feigned lips proceed.

When I to thee my prayer make, Lord, to my voice give ear; My life save from the enemy, of whom I stand in fear.

The voice hear of my humble pray'rs, when unto thee I cry; When to thine holy oracle I lift mine hands on high.

Lord, in thy wrath rebuke me not; Nor in thy hot rage chasten me.
