Psalms 61

61

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

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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