Psalm 61 - Assurance of God’s Protection

To the leader: with stringed instruments.

Of David.

Hear my cry, O God;
 
listen to my prayer.
 
2 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;
 
3 for you are my refuge,
 
a strong tower against the enemy.

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

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

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