‏ Psalms 61

1 David flees to God upon his former experience. 4 He vows perpetual service unto him because of his promises.

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

1Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
2From the end of the earth will I cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4I will abide in your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. Selah.
5For you, O God, have heard my vows: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.
6You will prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8So will I sing praise to your name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
