61 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.

To the director: With stringed instruments. A song of David.

61 God, hear my cry for help.
Listen to my prayer.
2 From a faraway land I call to you for help.
I feel so weak and helpless!
Carry me to a high rock
where no one can reach me.
3 You are my place of safety,
a strong tower that protects me from my enemies.
4 I want to live in your tent [ a ] forever.
I want to hide where you can protect me. Selah

5 God, you heard what I promised to give you,
but everything your worshipers have comes from you.
6 Give the king a long life.
Let him live forever!
7 Let him rule in your presence forever.
Protect him with your faithful love.
8 Then I will praise your name forever.
Every day I will do what I promised.

61 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.

2 Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.

3 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.

4 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.

5 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.

6 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.

7 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.

8 In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.

9 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.

10 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.

11 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.

12 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,

13 And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
