Psalm 61

Lead Me to the Rock

1Hear my cry, O God,

listen to my prayer;

2from the end of the earth I call to you

when my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock

that is higher than I,

3for you have been my refuge,[#Ps. 14:6]

a strong tower against the enemy.

4Let me dwell in your tent forever![#Ps. 15:1; 27:4]

Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah

5For you, O God, have heard my vows;

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

6Prolong the life of the king;[#Ps. 21:4; #Ps. 63:11]

may his years endure to all generations!

7May he be enthroned forever before God;

appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

8So will I ever sing praises to your name,

as I perform my vows day after day.
