Psalms 61 — AAB

You Have Heard My Vows

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David.

61Hear my cry, O God;attend to my prayer.²From the ends of the earth I call out to Youwhenever my heart is faint.Lead me to the rockthat is higher than I.³For You have been my refuge,a tower of strength against the enemy.⁴Let me dwell in Your tent foreverand take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.Selah⁵For You have heard my vows, O God;You have given me the inheritance
reserved for those who fear Your name.⁶Increase the days of the king’s life;may his years span many generations.⁷May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever;appoint Your loving devotion
and Your faithfulness to guard him.⁸Then I will ever sing praise to Your nameand fulfill my vows day by day.
