Psalms61

David cries to God from a place of overwhelming distress, seeking refuge in Him as his strong tower and shelter. He expresses a desire to abide in God's tabernacle forever, trusting in His protective wings. Acknowledging God's faithfulness in hearing his vows, David prays for the king's prolonged life and preservation by mercy and truth. He concludes by vowing to sing praise and perform his commitments daily.

A Prayer for Refuge in Distress

1
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer.
2
From the endes of the earth will I crye vnto thee: when mine heart is opprest, bring me vpon the rocke that is higher then I.
3
For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie.
4
I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. Selah.

Confidence in God's Eternal Covenant

5
For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name.
6
Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages.
7
Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him.

Vow of Perpetual Praise

8
So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.
