PSALMS 61

1 God, listen to me, and answer my prayer [DOU]!
2 While I am discouraged and far from my home, I am calling out to you. Lead me to the place that is like a high rock [MET] on top of which I will be safe.
3 You have been my refuge; you have been like a strong tower [MET] in which I am safe from being attacked by my enemies.
4 Allow me to live close to your temple all during my life [HYP]! Allow me to be safe [MET], like a little bird is safe under its mother’s wings. (Think about that!)
5 God, you heard me when I solemnly promised to give offerings to you; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you [MTY].
6 I am the king of Israel; please allow me to live and rule for many years, and allow my descendants to rule also.
7 Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.
8 If you do that, I will always sing to praise you [MTY] while I offer to you each day the sacrifices that I promised to give to you.
