Psalm 61-62

English Standard Version Anglicised

61 Hear my cry, O God,
    ^(B)listen to my prayer;
² from the end of the earth I call to you
    when my heart is ^(C)faint.
Lead me to ^(D)the rock
    that is higher than I,
³ for you have been ^(E)my refuge,
    a strong ^(F)tower against the enemy.
⁴ Let me ^(G)dwell in your tent for ever!
    Let me take refuge under ^(H)the shelter of your wings! Selah
⁵ For you, O God, have heard my vows;
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
^6 (I)Prolong ^(J)the life of the king;
    may his years endure to all generations!
⁷ May he be enthroned for ever before God;
    appoint ^(K)steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
⁸ So will I ever sing praises to your name,
    as I ^(L)perform my vows day after day.

62 For God alone ^(N)my soul ^(O)waits in silence;
    from him comes my salvation.
^2 (P)He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my ^(Q)fortress; ^(R)I shall not be greatly shaken.
³ How long will all of you attack a man
    to batter him,
    like ^(S)a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
⁴ They only plan to thrust him down from his ^(T)high position.
    They take pleasure in falsehood.
^(U)They bless with their mouths,
    but inwardly they curse. Selah
⁵ For God alone, O ^(V)my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
^6 (W)He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
⁷ On God rests my ^(X)salvation and my glory;
    my mighty rock, ^(Y)my refuge is God.
^8 (Z)Trust in him at all times, O people;
    ^(AA)pour out your heart before him;
    God is ^(AB)a refuge for us. Selah
^9 (AC)Those of low estate are but a breath;
    those of high estate ^(AD)are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    ^(AE)they are together lighter than a breath.
¹⁰ Put no trust in extortion;
    ^(AF)set no vain hopes on robbery;
    ^(AG)if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
^11 (AH)Once God has spoken;
    ^(AI)twice have I heard this:
that ^(AJ)power belongs to God,
¹²     and that to you, O Lord, ^(AK)belongs steadfast love.
For you will ^(AL)render to a man
    according to his work.
