Psalm 61

Psalm 61

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.

^*Hear my cry, O God;^a

listen to my prayer.^b

From the ends of the earth I call to you,

I call as my heart grows faint;^c

lead me to the rock^d that is higher than I.

For you have been my refuge,^e

a strong tower against the foe.^f

I long to dwell^g in your tent forever

and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.^h

For you, God, have heard my vows;ⁱ

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

Increase the days of the king’s life,^k

his years for many generations.^l

May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;^m

appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.ⁿ

Then I will ever sing in praise of your name^o

and fulfill my vows day after day.^p
