| 1 | (Psalm 61 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.)Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer. |
| 2 | From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. |
| 3 | For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy. |
| 4 | I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge 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; His years shall be as many generations. |
| 7 | He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him. |
| 8 | So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows. |
