Psalm 61

Security in God

For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Davidic.

God, hear my cry;

pay attention to my prayer.

I call to You from the ends of the earth

when my heart is without strength.

Lead me to a rock that is high above me,

for You have been a refuge for me,

a strong tower in the face of the enemy.

I will live in Your tent forever

and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings.Selah

God, You have heard my vows;

You have given a heritage

to those who fear Your name.

Add days to the king’s life;

may his years span many generations.

May he sit enthroned before God forever;

appoint faithful love and truth to guard him.

Then I will continually sing of Your name,

fulfilling my vows day by day.
