Hear my cry, O God;
Give heed to my prayer.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Psa 61:3For You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength [fn]against the enemy.

Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. [fn]Selah.

You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.

Psa 61:6You will [fn]prolong the king’s [fn]life;
His years will be as many generations.

Psa 61:7He will [fn]abide before God forever;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.

That I may pay my vows day by day.
