Psalm 61
Security in God
For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Of David.
1God, hear my cry;
pay attention to my prayer.
2I call to you from the ends of the earth
when my heart is without strength.
Lead me to a rock that is high above me,
3for you have been a refuge for me,
a strong tower in the face of the enemy.
4I will dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge under the shelter of your wings.Selah
5God, you have heard my vows;
you have given a heritage
to those who fear your name.
6Add days to the king’s life;
may his years span many generations.
7May he sit enthroned before God forever.
Appoint faithful love and truth to guard him.
8Then I will continually sing of your name,
fulfilling my vows day by day.
