Psalms 61 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Confidence in God's Protection.

For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

1. Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer.

2. From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3. For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy.

4. Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.

5. For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.

6. You will prolong the king's life; His years will be as many generations.

7. He will abide before God forever; Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.

8. So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may pay my vows day by day.
