Psalm 61, Chant E

 

Psalm 61  Exaudi, Deus

1 Hear my cry, O God, *
and listen to my prayer.

2 I call upon you from the ends of the earth with heaviness in my heart; *
set me upon the rock that is higher than I.

3 For you have been my re-fuge, *
a strong tower against the e-nemy.

4 I will dwell in your house for e-ver; *
I will take refuge under the cover of your wings.

5 For you, O God, have heard my vows; *
you have granted me the heritage of those who fear your Name.

6 Add length of days to the king’s life; *
let his years extend over many ge-ne-ra-tions.

7 Let him sit enthroned before God for ev-er; *
bid love and faithfulness watch o-ver him.

8 So will I always sing the praise of your Name, *
and day by day I will fulfill my vows.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A-men.
