Psalm 61
Common English Bible

Psalm 61

For the music leader, with stringed instruments. Of David.

61 God, listen to my cry;
    pay attention to my prayer!
2 When my heart is weak,
    I cry out to you from the very ends of the earth.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I am
3     because you have been my refuge,
    a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
4 Please let me live in your tent forever!
    Please let me take refuge
    in the shelter of your wings! Selah
5 Because you, God, have heard my promises;
    you’ve given me[a] the same possession
    as those who honor your name.

6 Add days to the king’s life!
    Let his years extend for many generations!
7 Let him be enthroned forever before God!
    Make it so love and faithfulness watch over him!
8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever,
    and I will do what I promised every single day.
