[1] To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. [2]
\61:1\Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.
[3] \61:2\From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my
heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me. [4]
\61:3\For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who
made war on me. [5] \61:4\I will make your tent my resting-place for ever:
I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah.) [6] \61:5\For
you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage
of those who give honour to your name. [7] \61:6\You will give the king
long life; and make his years go on through the generations. [8] \61:7\May
the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and
righteousness keep him safe. [9] \61:8\So will I make songs in praise of
your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
