PSALM 61
Confidence in God’s Protection.
For the music director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my cry, God;
Give Your attention to my prayer.
2From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy.
4Let me #61.4: Or sojourndwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
5¶For You have heard my vows, God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.
6You will #61.6: Lit add days toprolong the king’s #61.6: Lit dayslife;
His years will be like generations.
7He will #61.7: Or remain beforesit enthroned before God forever;
Appoint faithfulness and truth that they may watch over him.
8So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may pay my vows day by day.
