Psalm 61:1-8

To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. 61  Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:  From the end of the earth unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I wilt thou lead me.  For thou hast been A Refuge to me. A Tower of Strength from the face of the foe.  I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. [Selah.  For thou O God hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession unto them who revere thy Name.  Days—unto the days of the king wilt thou add. His years as of generation after generation:  Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that lovingkindness and faithfulness may watch over him!  So will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows day by day.
