Psalm 61:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 I will call out to you from far away,
    because I am sad and weak.
Lead me to a strong, safe rock
    that is higher than I am.
3 You are the safe place where I can hide.
You are like a strong tower
    that keeps me safe against my enemies.[a]
4 I want to live in your house for ever.
I want you to keep me safe,
    like birds protect their babies under their wings.
Selah.
