< Psalms 61 >

1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. God, please hear my cry for help; please listen to my prayer.
To the choirmaster - on a stringed instrument of David. Hear! O God cry of entreaty my pay attention to! prayer my.
2 From this distant place, far from home, I cry out to you as my courage fails. Take me to a rock high above me where I will be safe,
From [the] end of the earth - to you I call when grows faint heart my on a rock [which] it is high more than me you will lead me.
3 for you are my protection, a strong tower where my enemies cannot attack me.
For you have been a refuge of me a tower of strength from before [the] enemy.
4 Let me live with you forever; protect me under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)
Let me sojourn in tent your forever let me take refuge in [the] shelter of wings your (Selah)
5 For you, God, have heard the promises I've made. You have given all those who love your character your special blessing.
For you O God you have listened to vows my you have given [the] possession of [those] fearing name your.
6 Please give the king many extra years; may his reign last through generations.
Days to [the] days of [the] king you will add years his [be] like a generation and a generation.
7 May he always live in your presence; may your trustworthy love and faithfulness protect him.
May he sit forever before God covenant loyalty and faithfulness appoint they will preserve him.
8 Then I will always sing praises to you, and every day I will keep my promises to you.
Thus I will sing praises to name your for ever to pay I vows my day - day.
