Psalm 61
He vows perpetual service to Him.
1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer[1].
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[2] from the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever[3]: 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[4] 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[5]: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8 So will I sing praise[6] unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
