Psalm 61

Psalm 61 in the World English Bible (WEB), a public domain modern English update of the American Standard Version of 1901.

1

For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

2

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3

For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4

I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.

5

For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6

You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

7

He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

8

So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
