Psalms Chapter 61

These 150 prayers were used by the Hebrews to express their relationship with God. They cover the whole field of human emotions, from joy to hate, from hope to despair.

American King James Version

61 : 1 Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

61 : 2 From the end of the earth will I cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

61 : 3 For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

61 : 4 I will abide in your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. Selah.

61 : 5 For you, O God, have heard my vows: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.

61 : 6 You will prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

61 : 7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

61 : 8 So will I sing praise to your name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
