Psalm 61
For the director of music. A psalm of David to be played on stringed instruments.
1God, hear my cry for help.
Listen to my prayer.
2From a place far away I call out to you.
I call out as my heart gets weaker.
Lead me to the safety of a rock that is high above me.
3You have always kept me safe from my enemies.
You are like a strong tower to me.
4I long to live in your holy tent forever.
There I find safety in the shadow of your wings.
5God, you have heard my promises.
You have given me what belongs to those who worship you.
6Add many days to the king’s life.
Let him live on and on for many years.
7May he always enjoy your blessing as he rules.
Let your love and truth keep him safe.
8Then I will always sing praise to you.
I will keep my promises day after day.

Psalm 61
For the choir director; on a stringed instrument; by David.
1Listen to my cry for help, O God.
Pay attention to my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth, I call to you
when I begin to lose heart.
Lead me to the rock that is high above me.
3You have been my refuge,
a tower of strength against the enemy.
4I would like to be a guest in your tent forever
and to take refuge under the protection of your wings. Selah
5O God, you have heard my vows.
You have given me the inheritance
that belongs to those who fear your name.
6Add days upon days to the life of the king.
May his years endure throughout every generation.
7May he sit enthroned in the presence of God forever.
May mercy and truth protect him.
8Then I will make music to praise your name forever,
as I keep my vows day after day.
