Psalms 61

PSALM 61

Fear God and Abide unto the Eon

To the director; among the hymns to David; a psalm.

1 Listen, O God, to my supplication! Take heed to my prayer! 2 From the ends of the earth [²to ³you ¹I cry out]. In the discouraging of my heart, [²in ³the rock ¹you lifted me high]; you guided me. 3 For you became my hope; the tower of strength from in front of an enemy. 4 I will sojourn in your tent into the eons; I shall be sheltered in the protection of your wings. 5 For you, O God, listened to my vows. You gave an inheritance to the ones fearing your name. 6 Days upon days of the king; you shall add of his years unto days of generations and generations. 7 He shall abide into the eon before God. [⁴mercy ⁵and ⁶truth ³his ¹Who ²will seek]? 8 Thus I shall strum to your name into the eons, for me to render my vows day by day.
