Themes in Psalm 61

For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

Hear my cry, O God;

Give heed to my prayer.

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.

For You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy.

Let me

dwell in Your tent forever;

Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

Selah.

For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.
