Psalm 61 - Exaudi, Deus

1   Hear my cry, O God; +
    give ear unto my prayer.

2   From the ends of the earth I will call upon you +
    when my heart is in heaviness. 

3   O set me upon the rock that is higher than I, +
    for you have been my refuge and a strong tower for me against the enemy.

4   Let me dwell in your tabernacle for ever, +
    and my refuge shall be under the covering of your wings.

5   For you, O God, have heard my vows, +
    and have given a heritage to those who fear your Name.

6   You shall grant the king a long life, +
    that his years may endure throughout all generations.

7   His throne shall abide before God for ever; +
    O prepare your loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.

8   So will I always sing praise unto your Name, +
    that I may daily perform my vows.
