Psalms 61

Lead Me to the Rock

To the choirmaster: with a stringed instruments. Of David.

1  Hear my cry, O God,
b listen to my prayer;
2 from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is c faint.
Lead me to d the rock
that is higher than I,
3 for you have been e my refuge,
a strong f tower against the enemy.
4  Let me g dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under h the shelter of your wings!  Selah
5 For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6  i Prolong j the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
7 May he be enthroned forever before God;
appoint k steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
8  So will I ever sing praises to your name,
as I l perform my vows day after day.
