Psalm 61
Security in God
For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Of David.
1 God, hear my cry;
pay attention to my prayer. o
2 I call to you from the ends of the earth
when my heart is without strength. p
Lead me to a rock that is high above me, q
3 for you have been a refuge for me,
a strong tower r in the face of the enemy.
4 I will dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge under the shelter of your wings. s Selah
5 God, you have heard my vows; t
you have given a heritage
to those who fear your name. u
6 Add days to the king’s life;
may his years span many generations. v
7 May he sit enthroned before God forever. w
Appoint faithful love and truth to guard him. x
8 Then I will continually sing of your name, y
fulfilling my vows day by day. z
