Psalms 61
You Have Heard My Vows
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
attend to my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth I call out to You
whenever my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I.
3For You have been my refuge,
a tower of strength against the enemy.
4Let me dwell in Your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
Selah
5For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance
reserved for those who fear Your name.
6Increase the days of the king’s life;
may his years span many generations.
7May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint Your loving devotion
and Your faithfulness to guard him.
8Then I will ever sing praise to Your name
and fulfill my vows day by day.
