Psalm 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.

New Living Translation NLT

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

2 From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety,

3 for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.

4 Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude

5 For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name.

6 Add many years to the life of the king! May his years span the generations!

7 May he reign under God’s protection forever. May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him.

8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day.
