Psalms 61

1 For the chief musician; on a stringed instrument. A psalm of David. Hear my cry, God; attend to my prayer.

2 From the ends of the earth will I call to you when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

4 Let me live in your tabernacle forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

5 For you, God, have heard my vows, you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.

6 You will prolong the king's life; his years will be like many generations.

7 He will remain before God forever.

8 I will sing praise to your name forever so that I may perform my vows every day.
