“For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear my cry, O God! Attend to my prayer! From the extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me! For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy. I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings. For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name. O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations! May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him! So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
Psalms 61
