Psalms 61

   |   

Lead Me to the Rock

To the choirmaster: with (a)stringed instruments. Of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God,
    (b)listen to my prayer;
2 from the end of the earth I call to you
    when my heart is (c)faint.
Lead me to (d)the rock
    that is higher than I,
3 for you have been (e)my refuge,
    a strong (f)tower against the enemy.

4 Let me (g)dwell in your tent forever!
    Let me take refuge under (h)the shelter of your wings! Selah
5 For you, O God, have heard my vows;
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 (i)Prolong (j)the life of the king;
    may his years endure to all generations!
7 May he be enthroned forever before God;
    appoint (k)steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

8 So will I ever sing praises to your name,
    as I (l)perform my vows day after day.
