Psalm 61 - New International Version (Anglicised)

Psalm 61

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.

¹ Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.

² From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

³ For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.

⁴ I long to dwell in your tent for ever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

⁵ For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

⁶ Increase the days of the king’s life, his years for many generations.

⁷ May he be enthroned in God’s presence for ever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

⁸ Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfil my vows day after day.
