Psalm 61
Reading edition
For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.
61:1 Hear my cry, God.
Listen to my prayer.
61:2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
61:3 For you have been a refuge for me,
a strong tower from the enemy.
61:4 I will dwell in your tent forever.
I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Selah.
61:5 For you, God, have heard my vows.
You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
61:6 You will prolong the king's life;
his years shall be for generations.
61:7 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever.
Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
61:8 So I will sing praise to your name forever,
that I may fulfill my vows daily.
