Psalm 61 ISV HCSB Parallel

◄ Psalm 61 ►

International Standard Version

Holman Christian Standard Bible

1God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer.

1For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Davidic. God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer.

2From the end of the earth I will cry to you whenever my heart is overwhelmed. Place me on the rock that's too high for me.

2I call to You from the ends of the earth when my heart is without strength. Lead me to a rock that is high above me,

3For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy.

3for You have been a refuge for me, a strong tower in the face of the enemy.

4Let me make my home in your tent forever; let me hide under the shelter of your wings. Interlude

4I will live in Your tent forever and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings. Selah

5For you, God, have heard my promises; you have assigned to me the heritage of those who fear your name.

5God, You have heard my vows; You have given a heritage to those who fear Your name.

6Add day after day to the king's life; may his years continue for many generations.

6Add days to the king's life; may his years span many generations.

7May he be enthroned before God forever; Appoint your gracious love and truth to guard him.

7May he sit enthroned before God forever; appoint faithful love and truth to guard him.

8So I will sing songs to your name forever; I will fulfill my promises day by day.

8Then I will continually sing of Your name, fulfilling my vows day by day.
