Psalm 61
For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.
1 Hear
my cry, God.
Listen to my prayer.
2 From
the end of
the earth, I will
call to you
when my heart
is overwhelmed.
Lead me to
the rock that
is higher than I.
3 For
you have been a refuge
for me,
a strong tower
from the enemy.
4 I
will dwell in
your tent forever.
I will take
refuge in the
shelter of
your wings.
Selah.
5 For
you, God, have heard my vows.
You have given me
the heritage of those who
fear your name.
6 You
will prolong the king’s life.
His years will be
for generations.
7 He
shall be enthroned
in God’s presence
forever.
Appoint your loving kindness
and truth, that
they may preserve
him.
8 So
I will sing praise
to your name
forever,
that I may fulfill
my vows daily.
