61:1 For the worship leader. A song of David accompanied by strings. Hear me, O God, when I cry; listen to my prayer.
61:2 You are the One I will call when pushed to the edge, when my heart is faint. Shoulder me to the rock above me.
61:3 For You are my protection, an impenetrable fortress from my enemies.
61:4 Let me live in Your sanctuary forever; let me find safety in the shadow of Your wings. [pause]
61:5 You have heard the promises I made, O God. You have laid upon me the legacy due to those who fear Your name.
61:6 Extend the king’s life, day after day; increase his years for many generations.
61:7 May he be ever present before God, attended and guarded by Your loyal love and truth.
61:8 So I will never stop singing Your praise; as long as I live, I will fulfill my promise.
