For the end, among the Hymns of David.
61:1 O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.
61:2 From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in
trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me:
61:3 because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the
enemy.
61:4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under
the shadow of thy wings. Pause.
61:5 For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance
to them that fear thy name.
61:6 Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; [thou shalt lengthen] his
years to all generations.
61:7 He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his
mercy and truth?
61:8 So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform
my vows. |
To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A
[Psalm] of David. 61:1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
61:2 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.
61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of
thy wings. Selah.
61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of
those that fear thy name.
61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which
may preserve him.
61:8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform
my vows. |
