Psalm
Psalm, 61
To the director; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. Of David.
1 Hear, O God, my cry for help. Do pay attention to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I will cry out to you When my heart is in despair.*1 Lead me onto a rock that is higher than I am.
|
3 For you are my refuge, A strong tower that protects me from the enemy.
4 I will be a guest in your tent forever; I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)
5 For you, O God, have heard my vows. You have given me the inheritance belonging to those who fear your name.
6 You will add days to the life*1 of the king, And his years will be from generation to generation.
|
7 He will sit enthroned*1 forever before God; Grant him*2 loyal love and faithfulness, so that these may safeguard him.
|
8 Then I will sing praises*1 to your name forever As I pay my vows day after day.
