Psalm 61 (ESV)

¹ Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
² from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
³ for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.

⁴ Let me dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
⁵ For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

⁶ Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
⁷ May he be enthroned forever before God;
appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

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