Psalms 61

1 Please listen, God, and answer my prayer!

2 I feel hopeless, and I cry out to you from a faraway land. Lead me to the mighty rock high above me.

3 You are a strong tower, where I am safe from my enemies.

4 Let me live with you forever and find protection under your wings, my God.

5 You heard my promises, and you have blessed me, just as you bless everyone who worships you.

6 Let the king have a long and healthy life.

7 May he always rule with you, God, at his side; may your love and loyalty watch over him.

8 I will sing your praises forever, God, and will always keep my promises.
