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