PSALMS

The Sixty-First Psalm

Exaudi, Deus.

---

HEAR my crying, O God, * give ear unto my prayer.
 
From the ends of the earth will I call upon thee, * when my heart is in heaviness.
 
O set me up upon the rock that is higher than I; * for thou hast been my hope, and a strong tower for me against the enemy.
 
I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever, * and my trust shall be under the covering of thy wings.
 
For thou, O Lord, hast heard my desires, * and hast given an heritage unto those that fear thy Name.
 
Thou shalt grant the King a long life, * that his years may endure throughout all generations.
 
He shall dwell before God for ever: * O prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.
 
So will I alway sing praise unto thy Name, * that I may daily perform my vows.
