Psalm 61

Exaudi, Deus

1
Hear my cry, O God,
and listen to my prayer.
2
I call upon you from the ends of the earth with heaviness in my heart;
set me upon the rock that is higher than I.
3
For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.
4
I will dwell in your house for ever;
I will take refuge under the cover of your wings.
5
For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have granted me the heritage of those who fear your Name.
6
Add length of days to the king's life;
let his years extend over many generations.
7
Let him sit enthroned before God for ever;
bid love and faithfulness watch over him.
8
So will I always sing the praise of your Name,
and day by day I will fulfill my vows.
