# Psalm 61 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David. 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him! 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day.
