Psalm 61

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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