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.
