< Psalms 61 >

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
2 I call to You from the end of the land, In the feebleness of my heart, You lead me into a rock higher than I.
From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
4 I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, I trust in the secret place of Your wings. (Selah)
Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
5 For You, O God, have listened to my vows, You have appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Your Name.
For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.
6 You add days to the days of the king, His years as generation and generation.
Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.
7 He dwells before God for all time, Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.
May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.
8 So I praise Your Name forever, When I pay my vows day by day!
Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
