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

Psa 61:2from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,

Psa 61:3

Psa 61:3for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.

Psa 61:4Let me dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah

Psa 61:5For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

Psa 61:6

Psa 61:6Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!

Psa 61:7

Psa 61:7May he be enthroned forever before God;
appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

Psa 61:8So will I ever sing praises to your name,
as I perform my vows day after day.
