61 |
1 | Hear
my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. |
2 | 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. |
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 me the heritage of those that
fear thy name. |
6 | Thou
wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations. |
7 | He shall abide before God for ever:
O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. |
8 | So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that
I may daily perform my vows. |
