PSALM 61
1For the lead player, on stringed instruments, for David.
2Hear, God, my song,
listen close to my prayer.
3From the end of the earth I call You.
When my heart faints, You lead me to a rock high above me.
4For You have been a shelter to me,
a tower of strength in the face of the foe.
5Let me dwell in Your tent for all time,
let me shelter in Your wings’ hiding place.
selah
6For You, God, have heard my vows,
You have granted the plea of those who fear Your name.
7Days may You add to the days of the king,
his years be like those of generations untold.
8May he ever abide in the presence of God.
Steadfast kindness ordain to preserve him!
9So let me hymn Your name forever
as I pay my vows day after day.
