Psalms61

A Prayer from the End of the Earth

^1•Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. ^2•From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. ^3•For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. ^4•I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust 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: and his years as many generations. ^7•He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. ^8•So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
