61:1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer! |
61:2 In despair and far from home I call to you! Take me to a safe refuge, |
61:3 for you are my protector, my strong defense against my enemies. |
61:4 Let me live in your sanctuary all my life; let me find safety under your wings. |
61:5 You have heard my promises, O God, and you have given me what belongs to those who honor you. |
61:6 Add many years to the king's life; let him live on and on! |
61:7 May he rule forever in your presence, O God; protect him with your constant love and faithfulness. |
61:8 So I will always sing praises to you, as I offer you daily what I have promised. |
