Psalms 61

1For the music director, on string instrument, of David.

2Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer.

3From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

4For You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy.

5Let me dwell in Your tent forever. Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

6For You have heard my vows, O God. You have given the inheritance of those who fear Your Name.

7May You add days to the king’s days. May his years span many generations.

8May he be enthroned before God forever. Appoint mercy and truth to protect him.

9So I will sing praise to Your Name forever, to fulfill my vows day after day.
