Psalms 61

Security in God

1

For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Davidic.

1 God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer.[a]
2 I 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,[b]
3 for You have been a refuge for me, a strong tower[c] in the face of the enemy.
4 I will live in Your tent forever and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings.[d] Selah
5 God, You have heard my vows; You have given a heritage to those who fear Your name.
6 Add days to the king's life; may his years span many generations.
7 May he sit enthroned before God forever;[e] appoint faithful love and truth to guard him.[f]
8 Then I will continually sing of Your name, fulfilling my vows day by day.
