Psalms 61

Confidence in God’s Protection

For the music director, upon stringed instruments.

Of David.

1 Hear, O God, my cry;

attend to my prayer.

2 From the end of the earthI call to you

when my heart grows faint.

You will lead me to a rock that is higher than I.

3 For you have been my refuge,

a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Let me reside in your tent forever.

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

5 For you, O God, you have heard my vows.

You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 You will add days to the days of the king,

his years like those of many generations.

7 May he liveforever in the presence of God.

Appoint loyal love and faithfulness to preserve him.

8 So I will sing the praise of your name forever,

that I may fulfillmy vows daily.
