Psalm 61

Security in God

For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Davidic.

God, hear my cry;

pay attention to my prayer. i

I call to You from the ends of the earth

when my heart is without strength. j

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

for You have been a refuge for me,

a strong tower l in the face of the enemy.

I will live in Your tent forever

and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings. m * Selah

God, You have heard my vows; n

You have given a heritage

to those who * fear Your name. o

Add days to the king’s life;

may his years span many generations. p

May he sit enthroned before God forever; q

appoint faithful love and truth to guard him. r

Then I will continually sing of Your name, s

fulfilling my vows day by day. t

About The Holman Christian Standard Bible

The complete Holman Christian Standard Bible® is now available for the first time ever! More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form.

Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader.

Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him.
