1 Psalm 61 Lead Me to the Rock For the choir director. On a stringed instrument. Of David.Hear my cry of lamentation, O God;Give heed to my prayer.2 From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.3 For You have been a refuge for me,A tower of strength before the enemy.4 Let me sojourn in Your tent forever;Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. 61:4Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude Selah.5 ¶For You, O God, have heard my vows;You have givenmethe inheritance of those who fear Your name.6 You will add days to the king’s 61:6Lit days life;His years will be from generation to generation.7 He will sit enthroned before God forever;Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may guard him.8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever,As I pay my vows day by day.
