CHAP. LXI.

1 Dauid fleeth to God vpon his former experience. 4 He voweth perpetuall seruice vnto him because of his promises.

¹ [To the chiefe Musician vpon Neginah. A Psalme of Dauid.] Heare my cry, O God, attend vnto my prayer.

² From the end of the earth wil I cry vnto thee, when my heart is ouerwhelmed: leade me to the rocke, that is higher then I.

³ For thou hast bene a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

⁴ I will abide in thy Tabernacle for euer: I will trust in the couert of thy wings. Selah.⁴

⁵ For thou, O God, hast heard my vowes: thou hast giuen me the heritage of those that feare thy name.
