Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
American King James
Psalms 61
1¶ To the chief Musician upon Neginah. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. 2From the end of the earth will I cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 4I will abide in your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. Selah. 5For you, O God, have heard my vows: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your name. 6You will prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations. 7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. 8So will I sing praise to your name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
