Psalms 61
Of David
1 God, hear my cry for help, listen to my prayer!
2 From the end of the earth I call to you, with sinking heart. To the rock too high for me, lead me!
3 For you are my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.
4 Let me stay in your tent for ever, taking refuge in the shelter of your wings.
5 You, God, accept my vows, you grant me the heritage of those who fear your name. (pause)
6 Let the king live on and on, prolong his years, generation on generation.
7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence for ever! Assign your Love and Faithfulness to guard him!
8 So I shall always sing of your name, fulfilling the vows I have taken, day after day.
