# Psalms 61 [[Psalms 60|←]] • [[Psalms 62|→]] --- To the chief Musician upon Neginah, of David. ### 1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. ### 2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock is higher than I. ### 3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy. ### 4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. ### 5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given the heritage of those that fear thy name. ### 6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: his years as many generations. ### 7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, may preserve him. ### 8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
