HEAR my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

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

3 For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in 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 You will prolong the king's life, his years as many generations.

7 He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him!

8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever, that I may daily perform vows. PSALM 61
