Psalm 61
English Standard Version
Lead Me to the Rock
To the choirmaster: with (A)stringed instruments. Of David.
61 Hear my cry, O God,
(B)listen to my prayer;
2 from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is (C)faint.
Lead me to (D)the rock
that is higher than I,
3 for you have been (E)my refuge,
a strong (F)tower against the enemy.
4 Let me (G)dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under (H)the shelter of your wings! Selah
5 For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 (I)Prolong (J)the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
7 May he be enthroned forever before God;
appoint (K)steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
8 So will I ever sing praises to your name,
as I (L)perform my vows day after day.
Psalm 61
Revised Geneva Translation
61 Hear my cry, O God! Give ear to my prayer!
2 From the ends of the Earth I will cry to You. When my heart is oppressed, bring me upon the Rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been my hope, a strong tower against the enemy.
4 I will dwell in Your Tabernacle forever. My trust shall be under the covering of Your wings. Selah.
5 For You, O God, have heard my desires. You have given a heritage to those who fear Your Name.
6 You shall give the king a long life. His years shall be as many ages.
7 He shall dwell before God forever. Prepare mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.
8 So I will always sing praise to Your Name in performing, daily, my vows. To the excellent musician, Jeduthun: A Psalm of David
