Psalms 61

1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer!

1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.

2 In despair and far from home I call to you! Take me to a safe refuge,

2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 for you are my protector, my strong defense against my enemies.

3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.

4 Let me live in your sanctuary all my life; let me find safety under your wings.

4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

5 You have heard my promises, O God, and you have given me what belongs to those who honor you.

5 For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Add many years to the king's life; let him live on and on!

6 Increase the days of the king’s life, his years for many generations.

7 May he rule forever in your presence, O God; protect him with your constant love and faithfulness.

7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

8 So I will always sing praises to you, as I offer you daily what I have promised.

8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
