Psalms 61
1 For the music director, with stringed instruments. Of David.
2 Hear my cry, O God; pay attention to my prayer.
3 From the ends of the earth I call to you when my heart grows faint; lead me to a rock higher than I am.
4 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.
5 I want to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
6 For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given the inheritance of those who fear your name.
7 Add days to the king’s life; may his years last through generation after generation.
8 May he remain enthroned forever before God; appoint loyal love and faithfulness to guard him.
9 Then I will sing praise to your name forever, day after day fulfilling my vows.
