Psalms 61
61
For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by stringed instruments.
1O God, listen to my cry!
Hear my prayer!
2From the ends of the earth,
I cry to you for help
when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
3for you are my safe refuge,
a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
4Let me live forever in your sanctuary,
safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude
5For you have heard my vows, O God.
You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name.
6Add many years to the life of the king!
May his years span the generations!
7May he reign under God’s protection forever.
May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him.
8Then I will sing praises to your name forever
as I fulfill my vows each day.

Psalm 61#In Hebrew texts 61:1-8 is numbered 61:2-9.
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
4I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.#61:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
5For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
7May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.
