Psalms 61

  1. 1

    For the music director, to be played on a stringed instrument; written by David. O God, hear my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer.

  2. 2

    From the remotest place on earth I call out to you in my despair. Lead me up to a rocky summit where I can be safe.

  3. 3

    Indeed, you are my shelter, a strong tower that protects me from the enemy.

  4. 4

    I will be a permanent guest in your home; I will find shelter in the protection of your wings. (Selah)

  5. 5

    For you, O God, hear my vows; you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers.

  6. 6

    Give the king long life. Make his lifetime span several generations.

  7. 7

    May he reign forever before God. Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him.

  8. 8

    Then I will sing praises to your name continually, as I fulfill my vows day after day.
