Psalm 61 - Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

To the director: With stringed instruments. A song of David.

¹ God, hear my cry for help. Listen to my prayer.

² From a faraway land I call to you for help. I feel so weak and helpless! Carry me to a high rock where no one can reach me.

³ You are my place of safety, a strong tower that protects me from my enemies.

⁴ I want to live in your tent forever. I want to hide where you can protect me. Selah

⁵ God, you heard what I promised to give you, but everything your worshipers have comes from you.

⁶ Give the king a long life. Let him live forever!

⁷ Let him rule in your presence forever. Protect him with your faithful love.

⁸ Then I will praise your name forever. Every day I will do what I promised.
