Psalm 61

Lead Me to the Rock

61To the choirmaster: with ^lstringed instruments. Of David.

¹Hear my cry, O God,

^mlisten to my prayer;

²from the end of the earth I call to you

when my heart is ⁿfaint.

Lead me to ^othe rock

that is higher than I,

³for you have been ^pmy refuge,

a strong ^qtower against the enemy.

⁴Let me ^rdwell in your tent forever!

Let me take refuge under ^sthe shelter of your wings! Selah

⁵For you, O God, have heard my vows;

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

^6tProlong ^uthe life of the king;

may his years endure to all generations!

⁷May he be enthroned forever before God;

appoint ^vsteadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

⁸So will I ever sing praises to your name,

as I ^wperform my vows day after day.
