Psalm 61:1-8 VOICE

[1] Hear me, O God, when I cry; listen to my prayer. [2] You are the One I will call when pushed to the edge, when my heart is faint. Shoulder me to the rock above me. [3] For You are my protection, an impenetrable fortress from my enemies. [4] Let me live in Your sanctuary forever; let me find safety in the shadow of Your wings. [pause] [5] You have heard the promises I made, O God. You have laid upon me the legacy due to those who fear Your name. [6] Extend the king's life, day after day; increase his years for many generations. [7] May he be ever present before God, attended and guarded by Your loyal love and truth. [8] So I will never stop singing Your praise; as long as I live, I will fulfill my promise.
