The Word Am I

The Book of Psalms

Catholic Public Domain Version 2009

- Chapter 61 -

You have heard my vow

1
Unto the end. With hymns, of David.
2
O God, pay attention to my supplication. Be attentive to my prayer.
3
I cried out to you from the ends of the earth. When my heart was in anguish, you exalted me on a rock. You have led me,
4
for you have been my hope, a tower of strength before the face of the enemy.
5
I will dwell in your tabernacle forever. I will be protected under the cover of your wings.
6
For you, my God, have listened to my prayer. You have granted an inheritance to those who fear your name.
7
You will add days to the days of the king, to his years, even to the time of generation after generation.
8
He remains in eternity, in the sight of God. Who will long for his mercy and truth?
9
So I will compose a psalm to your name, forever and ever, so that I may repay my vows from day to day.
