Psalms 61 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

PSALM 61

1. For the leader; with stringed instruments. Of David.

I

2. Hear my cry, O God,listen to my prayer!

3. From the ends of the earth I call;my heart grows faint.Raise me up, set me on a rock,

4. for you are my refuge,a tower of strength against the foe.

5. Let me dwell in your tent forever,take refuge in the shelter of your wings.Selah

II

6. For you, O God, have heard my vows,you have granted me the heritage of those who revere your name.

7. Add days to the life of the king;may his years be as from generation to generation;

8. May he reign before God forever;send your love and fidelity to preserve him—

9. I will duly sing to your name forever,fulfill my vows day after day.
