61:1 [For the music director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.]
Hear my cry, God;
Give Your attention to my prayer.
61:2 From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
61:3 For You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy.
61:4 Let me ①dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
▷ ①Or sojourn
61:5 For You have heard my vows, God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.
61:6 You will ①prolong the king’s ②life;
His years will be like generations.
▷ ①Lit add days to ②Lit days
61:7 He will ①sit enthroned before God forever;
Appoint faithfulness and truth that they may watch over him.
▷ ①Or remain before
61:8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may pay my vows day by day.
