1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 David fleeth to God upon his former experience. 4 He voweth perpetual service unto him, because of his promises.

61:1 ¶ To the Overseer, on stringed instruments.—By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

61:2 From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

61:3 For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

61:4 I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.

61:5 For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

61:6 Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

61:7 He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint—they keep him.

61:8 So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
