Psalm 61

English Standard Version Anglicised

61 Hear my cry, O God,
    ^(B)listen to my prayer;
² from the end of the earth I call to you
    when my heart is ^(C)faint.
Lead me to ^(D)the rock
    that is higher than I,
³ for you have been ^(E)my refuge,
    a strong ^(F)tower against the enemy.
⁴ Let me ^(G)dwell in your tent for ever!
    Let me take refuge under ^(H)the shelter of your wings! Selah
⁵ For you, O God, have heard my vows;
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
^6 (I)Prolong ^(J)the life of the king;
    may his years endure to all generations!
⁷ May he be enthroned for ever before God;
    appoint ^(K)steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
⁸ So will I ever sing praises to your name,
    as I ^(L)perform my vows day after day.
