Psalm 61

² From a place far away I call out to you.
    I call out as my heart gets weaker.
    Lead me to the safety of a rock that is high above me.
³ You have always kept me safe from my enemies.
    You are like a strong tower to me.

⁴ I long to live in your holy tent forever.
    There I find safety in the shadow of your wings.
⁵ God, you have heard my promises.
    You have given me what belongs to those who worship you.

⁶ Add many days to the king’s life.
    Let him live on and on for many years.
⁷ May he always enjoy your blessing as he rules.
    Let your love and truth keep him safe.

⁸ Then I will always sing praise to you.
    I will keep my promises day after day.
