PSALM 61

Confidence in God’s Protection.

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

1aHear my cry, O God;

bGive heed to my prayer.

2From the aend of the earth I call to You when my heart is bfaint;

Lead me to cthe rock that is higher than I.

3For You have been a arefuge for me,

A btower of strength 1against the enemy.

4Let me 1adwell in Your tent forever;

Let me btake refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

2Selah.

5For You have heard my avows, O God;

You have given me the inheritance of those who bfear Your name.

6You will 1aprolong the king’s 2life;

His years will be as many generations.

7He will 1abide abefore God forever;

Appoint blovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.

8So I will asing praise to Your name forever,

That I may bpay my vows day by day.
