61 1 Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
61 2 from the end of the earth I call to thee, when my heart is faint. Lead thou me to the rock that is higher than I;
61 3 for thou art my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.
61 4 Let me dwell in thy tent for ever!
Oh to be safe under the shelter of thy wings! Selah
61 5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows,
thou hast given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.
61 6 Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
61 7 May he be enthroned for ever before God;
bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him!
61 8 So will I ever sing praises to thy name,
as I pay my vows day after day.
