God's New Revelations

The Book of Psalms

World English Bible Catholic :: King James Version

- Chapter 61 -

You have heard my vow

1
Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.
2
From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3
For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
4
I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
5
For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6
You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.
7
He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8
So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.

You have heard my vow

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 that is higher than I.
3
For thou hast been a shelter for me, and 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.(a)
5
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6
Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.(b) (c)
7
He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
