Psalm 61

Security in God

For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Of David.

God, hear my cry;
pay attention to my prayer.(A)
I call to you from the ends of the earth
when my heart is without strength.(B)
Lead me to a rock that is high above me,(C)
for you have been a refuge for me,
a strong tower(D) in the face of the enemy.
I will dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge under the shelter of your wings.(E)Selah

God, you have heard my vows;(F)
you have given a heritage
to those who fear your name.(G)
Add days to the king’s life;
may his years span many generations.(H)
May he sit enthroned before God forever.(I)
Appoint faithful love and truth to guard him.(J)
Then I will continually sing of your name,(K)
fulfilling my vows day by day.(L)
