Psalms Chapter 61
For the Choir Director. A Psalm of David
On Stringed Instruments
1 Listen to my prayer, God; hear my prayer.
2 With a faint heart I call to you from the end of the earth;
lead me to the rock that’s higher than me.
3 You’re my refuge, my strong tower against the enemy.
4 Let me live in your tent forever
and take shelter under your wings.
5 You’ve heard my vows, God,
and given me the inheritance that comes to those who respect you.
6 Lengthen the king’s life;
make his lifetime like many generations.
7 Have him sit enthroned in your presence forever;
appoint enduring love and truth to preserve him.
8 I’ll sing praise to you forever
as I pay my vows each day.
Ps 61:1-8
