Zabur 61

For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By Dawud.

¹Hear my cry, God.

Listen to my prayer.

²From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

³For you have been a refuge for me,

A strong tower from the enemy.

⁴I will dwell in your tent forever.

I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

Selah.

⁵For you, God, have heard my vows.

You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

⁶You will prolong the king's life;

His years shall be for generations.

⁷He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever.

Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

⁸So I will sing praise to your name forever,

That I may fulfill my vows daily.
