Psalms
Chapter 61King James Version
Berean Standard Bible
1Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
2From 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.
From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.
6Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.
7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.
8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
