Psalm 61

  

King David’s Assurance of Security in God

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

1Hear my cry, O God;
attend unto my prayer.

  2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,
when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For thou hast been a shelter for me,
and a strong tower from the enemy.   4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever:
I will trust in the covert of thy wings.  Selah 5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:
thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.   6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life:
and his years as many generations. 7 He shall abide before God for ever:
O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.   8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,
that I may daily perform my vows.
