Psalm 61:2-5
The Message

61 1-2 God, listen to me shout,
    bend an ear to my prayer.
When I’m far from anywhere,
    down to my last gasp,
I call out, “Guide me
    up High Rock Mountain!”

3-5 You’ve always given me breathing room,
    a place to get away from it all,
A lifetime pass to your safe-house,
    an open invitation as your guest.
You’ve always taken me seriously, God,
    made me welcome among those who know and love you.

Psalm 61:2-4
New International Version

2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
    I call as my heart grows faint;(A)
    lead me to the rock(B) that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge,(C)
    a strong tower against the foe.(D)

4 I long to dwell(E) in your tent forever
    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[a](F)
