Psalm 61

For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.

 61:1Hear my cry, God.
      Listen to my prayer.

 61:2From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed.
      Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

 61:3For you have been a refuge for me,
      A strong tower from the enemy.

 61:4I will dwell in your tent forever.
      I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

 Selah.

 61:5For you, God, have heard my vows.
      You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

 61:6You will prolong the king's life;
      His years shall be for generations.

 61:7He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever.
      Appoint your lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

 61:8So I will sing praise to your name forever,
      That I may fulfill my vows daily.
