Psalm 61

Confidence in God's Protection

61¹ O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! ² From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, ³ for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. ⁴ Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude

⁵ For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name. ⁶ Add many years to the life of the king! May his years span the generations! ⁷ May he reign under God's protection forever. May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him. ⁸ Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day.
