Psalm 61, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
 

2

From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
 

3

For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
 

4

I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Selah
 

5

For you have heard my vows, O God;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
 

6

Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
 

7

May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
 

8

Then will I ever sing praise to your name
and fulfil my vows day after day.
