Psalm 61
For the choir director; on a stringed instrument; by David.
1Listen to my cry for help, O God.
Pay attention to my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth, I call to you
when I begin to lose heart.
Lead me to the rock that is high above me.
3You have been my refuge,
a tower of strength against the enemy.
4I would like to be a guest in your tent forever
and to take refuge under the protection of your wings. Selah
5O God, you have heard my vows.
You have given me the inheritance
that belongs to those who fear your name.
6Add days upon days to the life of the king.
May his years endure throughout every generation.
7May he sit enthroned in the presence of God forever.
May mercy and truth protect him.
8Then I will make music to praise your name forever,
as I keep my vows day after day.

Assurance of God’s Eternal Protection
To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
2From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For You have been a shelter for me,
#Prov. 18:10A strong tower from the enemy.
4I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;
#Ps. 91:4I will trust in 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.
6You will prolong the king’s life,
His years as many generations.
7He shall abide before God forever.
Oh, prepare mercy #Ps. 40:11and truth, which may preserve him!
8So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may daily perform my vows.
