Psalm 61 61 Psalms Book 2 Brenton Septuagint You Have Heard My Vows 1 Brenton For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer. BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
2 Brenton From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock, thou didst guide me: BSB BSB: From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 Brenton because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy. BSB BSB: For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
4 Brenton I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause. BSB BSB: Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
5 Brenton For thou, O God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name. BSB BSB: For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.
6 Brenton Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; thou shalt lengthen his years to all generations. BSB BSB: Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.
7 Brenton He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth? BSB BSB: May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.
8 Brenton So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows. BSB BSB: Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
