Psalms 61

Psalm 61

Security in God

For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Of David.

¹God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer.²

³I call to you from the ends of the earth when my heart is without strength. Lead me to a rock that is high above me,⁴

⁵for you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower in the face of the enemy.⁶

⁷I will dwell in your tent forever and take refuge under the shelter of your wings.Selah⁸

⁹God, you have heard my vows; you have given a heritage to those who fear your name.¹⁰

¹¹Add days to the king’s life; may his years span many generations.¹²

¹³May he sit enthroned before God forever. Appoint faithful love and truth to guard him.¹⁴

¹⁵Then I will continually sing of your name, fulfilling my vows day by day.¹⁶
