Psalms 61
1HEAR, O God, my supplication: attend to this prayer of mine.
2From the extremity of the land, I cried to Thee, when my heart began to despond: at Petra Thou didst raise me up, and conduct me.
3Because Thou hast been my hope—a strong tower from the face of a foe;
4I shall dwell at Thy tabernacle forever—I shall be sheltered in the covert of Thy wings.
5Because Thou, O God, hast heard my prayer—hast given a possession to them who fear Thy name;
6Thou wilt add days to the days of a king, and prolong his years to endless ages;
7he will continue forever in the presence of God. O that every of them may find out His mercy and truth!
8So will I sing to Thy name forever, that I may, day by day, perform my vows.
