Psalm 61 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional EditionUnder the Protection of God (A psalm by David for the music leader. Use with stringed instruments.) 1 Please listen, God, and answer my prayer! 2 I feel hopeless, and I cry out to you from a faraway land. Lead me to the mighty rock high above me. 3 You are a strong tower, where I am safe from my enemies. 4 Let me live with you forever and find protection under your wings, my God. 5 You heard my promises, and you have blessed me, just as you bless everyone who worships you. 6 Let the king have a long and healthy life. 7 May he always rule with you, God, at his side; may your love and loyalty watch over him. 8 I will sing your praises forever, God, and will always keep my promises. |
