Psalms 61CJB

1For the leader. With stringed instruments. By David: Hear my cry, God; listen to my prayer.

2From the end of the earth, with fainting heart, I call out to you. Set me down on a rock far above where I am now.

3For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the foe.

4I will live in your tent forever and find 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.

6Prolong the life of the king! May his years go on for many generations.

7May he be enthroned in God's presence forever! Appoint grace and truth to preserve him!

8Then I will sing praise to your name forever, as day after day I fulfill my vows.
