Psalm 61
Confidence in God’s Protection.
To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
Listen to my prayer.
2From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help].
3For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me,
A strong tower against the enemy.
4Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.
5¶For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name [with reverence].
6You will prolong the king’s life [adding days upon days];
His years will be like many generations.
7He will sit enthroned forever before [the face of] God;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth to watch over and preserve him.
8So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
Paying my vows day by day.

61
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.
