About this chapterDavid calls to God from the ends of the earth, his heart faint. He asks to be led to a rock higher than himself, since God has been his refuge and strong tower against the enemy. He longs to live in God's tent forever and shelter under the wings of God. God has heard his vows and given him the inheritance of those who fear his name. He asks for the king's long life, ruling before God with steadfast love and faithfulness, and promises to sing praises daily.

Psalms 61

Berean Standard Bible8 verses · 1 min read

1Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. 2From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy. 4Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.Selah 5For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name. 6Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations. 7May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him. 8Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
