Psalms 61
The psalmist cries out to God from a distant place, seeking refuge and protection from enemies. God has been a strong tower and refuge for the psalmist in the past, and they long to dwell in God's presence forever. The psalmist also prays for the king's life to be extended and for God's love and faithfulness to protect him. The psalmist vows to sing praise to God's name and fulfill their vows daily.
1Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.2From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.3For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.4I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah5For you have heard my vows, O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.6Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations.7May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.8Then will I ever sing praise to your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
