Psalms

61 Hear my appeal, God,

listen to my prayer.

2 From the earth’s end to you I call when my heart is fainting away;

you will set me on a rock too lofty for me to climb,

3 Because you have been a refuge to me,

a tower of shelter before an enemy.

4 I will find a home in your tent eternally,

will take refuge under the screen of your wings. (Selah)

5 For you, God, have heard my vows,

have granted the request of those who fear your name.

6 You will add time to the king’s time;

his years shall be like generation upon generation;

7 He shall be enthroned forever before God;

set friendship and loyalty to keep him.

8 Thus I will make music to your name for aye,

paying my vows day by day.
