Psalm
Psalms, 61
To the director on stringed instruments. Of David.
1 Do hear, O God, my entreating cry. Do pay attention to my prayer.
2 From the extremity of the earth I shall cry, even to you, when my heart grows feeble. Onto a rock that is higher than I am may you lead me.
3 For you have proved to be a refuge for me, A strong tower in the face of the enemy.
4 I will be a guest in your tent for times indefinite; I will take refuge in the concealment of your wings. Seʹlah.
5 For you yourself, O God, have listened to my vows. You have given [me] the possession of those fearing your name.
6 Days you will add to the days of the king; His years will be like generation after generation.
7 He will dwell to time indefinite before God; O assign loving-kindness and trueness,*1 that these may safeguard him.

8 So I will make melody to your name forever, That I may pay my vows day after day.
