Psalm 61 ISV NIV Parallel

◄ Psalm 61 ►

International Standard Version

New International Version

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

1For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; listen 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.

2From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

3For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.

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

4I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

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

5For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

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

6Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations.

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

7May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

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

8Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
