Psalms 61

Security in God

For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Davidic.

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

2I 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,

3for You have been a refuge for me, a strong tower in the face of the enemy.

4I will live in Your tent forever and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings.Selah

5God, You have heard my vows; You have given a heritage to those who fear Your name.

6Add days to the king's life; may his years span many generations.

7May he sit enthroned before God forever; appoint faithful love and truth to guard him.

8Then I will continually sing of Your name, fulfilling my vows day by day.
