Psalm 61 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 61:1(LXX 60:1) For the end, among the Hymns of David. (60:2) O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.

Psa 61:2(LXX 60:3) From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock, thou didst guide me:

Psa 61:3(LXX 60:4) because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

Psa 61:4(LXX 60:5) I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause.

Psa 61:5(LXX 60:6) For thou, O God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

Psa 61:6(LXX 60:7) Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; thou shalt lengthen his years to all generations.

Psa 61:7(LXX 60:8) He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

Psa 61:8(LXX 60:9) So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
