Psalm 61

SECURITY IN GOD

For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Of David.

1 God, hear my cry;

pay attention to my prayer.ac

2 I call to you from the ends of the earth

when my heart is without strength.ad

Lead me to a rock that is high above me,ae

3 for you have been a refuge for me,

a strong toweraf in the face of the enemy.

4 I will dwell in your tent forever

and take refuge under the shelter of your wings.ag

Selah

5 God, you have heard my vows;ah

you have given a heritage

to those who fear your name.ai

6 Add days to the king’s life;

may his years span many generations.aj

7 May he sit enthroned before God forever.ak

Appoint faithful love and truth to guard him.al

8 Then I will continually sing of your name,am

fulfilling my vows day by day.an
