61 Dinggin mo ang aking daing, Oh Dios; pakinggan mo ang aking dalangin.

Mula sa wakas ng lupa ay tatawag ako sa iyo, pagka nanglupaypay ang aking puso: patnubayan mo ako sa malaking bato na lalong mataas kay sa akin.

Sapagka't ikaw ay naging aking kanlungan, matibay na moog sa kaaway.

Ako'y tatahan sa iyong tabernakulo magpakailan man: ako'y manganganlong sa lilim ng iyong mga pakpak. (Selah)

Sapagka't dininig mo, Oh Dios, ang aking mga panata: ibinigay mo ang mana sa nangatatakot sa iyong pangalan.

Iyong pahahabain ang buhay ng hari: Ang kaniyang mga taon ay magiging parang malaong panahon.

Siya'y tatahan sa harap ng Dios magpakailan man: Oh maghanda ka ng kagandahang-loob at katotohanan, upang mapalagi siya.

Sa gayo'y aawit ako ng pagpuri sa iyong pangalan magpakailan man. Upang maisagawa ko araw-araw ang aking mga panata.

(A psalm by David for the music leader. Use with stringed instruments.)

Under the Protection of God

Please listen, God,
    and answer my prayer!
I feel hopeless,
and I cry out to you
    from a faraway land.

Lead me to the mighty rock[a]
    high above me.
You are a strong tower,
where I am safe
    from my enemies.

Let me live with you forever
and find protection
    under your wings, my God.
You heard my promises,
    and you have blessed me,
just as you bless everyone
    who worships you.

Let the king have a long
    and healthy life.
May he always rule
    with you, God, at his side;
may your love and loyalty
    watch over him.

I will sing your praises
forever, God, and will always
    keep my promises.

Hear my cry, O God;(A)
    listen to my prayer.(B)

From the ends of the earth I call to you,

For you have been my refuge,(E)
    a strong tower against the foe.(F)

I long to dwell(G) in your tent forever
    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[b](H)
For you, God, have heard my vows;(I)

Increase the days of the king’s life,(K)

Then I will ever sing in praise of your name(O)
