Psalms 61

The Message Bible MSG

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

King James Version KJV

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
