Psalm 61

God the Shelter

1 For the leader. With stringed instruments. By David: Hear my cry, God; listen to my prayer. 

2 From the end of the earth, with fainting heart, I call out to you. Set me down on a rock far above where I am now. 

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the foe. 

4 I will live in your tent forever and find refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

5 For you, 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 go on for many generations. 

7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever! Appoint grace and truth to preserve him! 

8 Then I will sing praise to your name forever, as day after day I fulfill my vows.
