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.

Psalms 61
1To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer. 2From the endes of the earth will I crye vnto thee: when mine heart is opprest, bring me vpon the rocke that is higher then I. 3For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie. 4I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. Selah. 5For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name. 6Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages. 7Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him. 8So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.
