Psalm 61

Assurance of God’s Protection

To the leader: with stringed instruments. Of David.

Hear my cry, O God;
    listen to my prayer.(A)
From the end of the earth I call to you,
    when my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock
    that is higher than I,(B)
for you are my refuge,
    a strong tower against the enemy.(C)

Let me abide in your tent forever,
    find refuge under the shelter of your wings. Selah(D)
For you, O God, have heard my vows;
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.(E)

Prolong the life of the king;
    may his years endure to all generations!(F)
May he be enthroned forever before God;
    appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!(G)

So I will always sing praises to your name,
    as I pay my vows day after day.(H)
