Psalms 61 (FBV)
undefined For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. 1 God, please hear my cry for help; please listen to my prayer. 2 From this distant place, far from home, I cry out to you as my courage fails. Take me to a rock high above me where I will be safe, 3 for you are my protection, a strong tower where my enemies cannot attack me. 4 Let me live with you forever; protect me under the shelter of your wings. Selah. 5 For you, God, have heard the promises I've made. You have given all those who love your character your special blessing. 6 Please give the king many extra years; may his reign last through generations. 7 May he always live in your presence; may your trustworthy love and faithfulness protect him. 8 Then I will always sing praises to you, and every day I will keep my promises to you.
