Psalm 61

For the chief musician; on a stringed instrument. A psalm of David.

1Hear my cry, God;

attend to my prayer.

2From the ends of the earth will I call to you when my heart is faint;

lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3For you have been a refuge for me,

a strong tower from the enemy.

4Let me live in your tabernacle forever!

Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. Selah

5For you, God, have heard my vows,

you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.

6You will prolong the king's life;

his years will be like many generations.

7He will remain before God forever.

8I will sing praise to your name forever

so that I may perform my vows every day.
