Psalms 61

Assurance of God’s Eternal Protection

To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.¹Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. ²From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. ³For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. ⁴I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah ⁵For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name. ⁶You will prolong the king’s life, His years as many generations. ⁷He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him! ⁸So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows.
