Psalm 61

Revised Geneva Translation

61 Hear my cry, O God! Give ear to my prayer!

² From the ends of the Earth I will cry to You. When my heart is oppressed, bring me upon the Rock that is higher than I.

³ For You have been my hope, a strong tower against the enemy.

⁴ I will dwell in Your Tabernacle forever. My trust shall be under the covering of Your wings. Selah.

⁵ For You, O God, have heard my desires. You have given a heritage to those who fear Your Name.

⁶ You shall give the king a long life. His years shall be as many ages.

⁷ He shall dwell before God forever. Prepare mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.

⁸ So I will always sing praise to Your Name in performing, daily, my vows. To the excellent musician, Jeduthun: A Psalm of David
