Psalm 61

A Soldier’s Prayer From the End of the Earth

Heading

For the choir director. On a stringed instrument. By David.

A Prayer From the End of the Earth

Hear my cry, O God.
Pay attention to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I call to you
    when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me up onto the rock that is higher than I.
For you have been a refuge for me,
a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
I want to keep living in your tent forever. Interlude
I will take refuge under the cover of your wings.
For you, God, have heard my vows.
You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
Add days to the days of the king.
His years will last through all generations.
Let him be seated in God’s presence forever.
Appoint your mercy and truth to protect him.
Then will I make music to your name forever,
    to fulfill my vows day after day.
