PSALM 61

Assurance of God’s Protection

Psalm 61:1 Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer;

Psalm 61:2 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;

Psalm 61:3 for you are my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.

Psalm 61:4 Let me dwell in your tent for ever! Oh, to be safe under the shelter of your wings!

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

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

Psalm 61:7 May he be enthroned for ever before God; bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him!

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