Psalms 61

   |   

Psalm 61[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God;(a)
    listen to my prayer.(b)

2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
    I call as my heart grows faint;(c)
    lead me to the rock(d) that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge,(e)
    a strong tower against the foe.(f)

4 I long to dwell(g) in your tent forever
    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[b](h)
5 For you, God, have heard my vows;(i)
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.(j)

6 Increase the days of the king's life,(k)
    his years for many generations.(l)
7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever;(m)
    appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.(n)

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