Psalms 61

For the choir director; with stringed instruments. Of David.

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

2From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart grows faint; lead me to a rock higher than I.

3For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower against the enemy.

4Let me dwell in your tent forever; let me take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah

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

6May you add days to the days of the king; may his years be like generation after generation.

7May he dwell before God forever; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to guard him.

8So I will sing praise to your name forever, to fulfill my vows day by day.
