Psalms 61

¹God, hear my cry.

Listen to my prayer.

²I call to you from the ends of the earth.

I am afraid.

Carry me away to a high mountain.

³You have been my protection,

like a strong tower against my enemies.

⁴Let me live in your Holy Tent forever.

Protect me as a bird protects its young under its wings. Selah

⁵God, you have heard my promises.

You have given me the things that belong to those who fear you.

⁶Give the king a long life.

Let him live many years.

⁷Let him rule in the presence of God forever.

Protect him with your love and truth.

⁸Then I will praise your name forever.

And every day I will keep my promises.
