Psalm 61
Confidence in God's Protection (RSV)


    Hear my cry, O God,
      listen to my prayer;
    from the end of the earth I call to thee,
      when my heart is faint.

    Lead thou me
      to the rock that is higher than I;
    for thou art my refuge,
      a strong tower against the enemy.

    Let me dwell in thy tent for ever!
      Oh to be safe under the shelter of thy wings! Selah

    For thou, O God, hast heard my vows,
      thou hast given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.

    Prolong the life of the king;
      may his years endure to all generations!
    May he be enthroned for ever before God;
      bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him!

    So will I ever sing praises to thy name,
      as I pay my vows day after day.
