Psalm 61



1 Hear my cry, O God; 
    listen to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
    I call as my heart grows faint; 
    lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge, 
    a strong tower against the foe.
4 I long to dwell in your tent forever
    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[b] 
5 For you, God, have heard my vows; 
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Increase the days of the king’s life, 
    his years for many generations. 
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever; 
    appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name 
    and fulfill my vows day after day.
