Psa 61 | Noyes | STEP | Hear my cry, O God! Attend to my prayer!

‏ Psalms 61

For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God! Attend to my prayer! 2 From the extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me! 3 For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy. 4 I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings. 5 For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name. 6 O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations! 7 May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him! 8 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
