Psalm 61


Confidence in God’s Protection.

For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

aHear my cry, O God;
bGive heed to my prayer.

2
From the aend of the earth I call to You when my heart is bfaint;
Lead me to cthe rock that is higher than I.

3
For You have been a arefuge for me,
A btower of strength 1against the enemy.

4
Let me 1adwell in Your tent forever;
Let me btake refuge in the shelter of Your wings. 2Selah.


5
For You have heard my avows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who bfear Your name.

6
You will 1aprolong the king’s 2life;
His years will be as many generations.

7
He will 1abide abefore God forever;
Appoint blovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.

8
So I will asing praise to Your name forever,
That I may bpay my vows day by day.
