Psalms 61

   |   

Confidence in God's Protection.

For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

1 (a)Hear my cry, O God;
(b)Give heed to my prayer.
2 From the (c)end of the earth I call to You when my heart is (d)faint;
Lead me to (e)the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a (f)refuge for me,
A (g)tower of strength [a]against the enemy.
4 Let me [b](h)dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me (i)take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. [c]Selah.

5 For You have heard my (j)vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who (k)fear Your name.
6 You will [d](l)prolong the king's [e]life;
His years will be as many generations.
7 He will [f]abide (m)before God forever;
Appoint (n)lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.
8 So I will (o)sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may (p)pay my vows day by day.
