Psalm 61

1 God, listen to my cry; pay attention to my prayer!

1 God, listen to me shout, bend an ear to my prayer.

2 When my heart is weak, I cry out to you from the very ends of the earth. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I am

2 When I'm far from anywhere, down to my last gasp, I call out, "Guide me up High Rock Mountain!"

3 because you have been my refuge, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

3 You've always given me breathing room, a place to get away from it all,

4 Please let me live in your tent forever! Please let me take refuge in the shelter of your wings! Selah

4 A lifetime pass to your safe-house, an open invitation as your guest.

5 Because you, God, have heard my promises; you've given me the same possession as those who honor your name.

5 You've always taken me seriously, God, made me welcome among those who know and love you.

6 Add days to the king's life! Let his years extend for many generations!

6 Let the days of the king add up to years and years of good rule.

7 Let him be enthroned forever before God! Make it so love and faithfulness watch over him!

7 Set his throne in the full light of God; post Steady Love and Good Faith as lookouts,

8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever, and I will do what I promised every single day.

8 And I'll be the poet who sings your glory - and live what I sing every day.
