Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 61

Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer.

From the ends of the earth, I call to You,
my heart weary and faint.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I,
a place of shelter beyond my reach.

For You have been my refuge,
a strong tower against every storm.

Let me dwell in Your presence forever,
taking shelter beneath Your wings.

For You, O God, have heard my prayers,
You have given me a heritage of faith.

Strengthen my days in Your love,
and let me walk in Your light always.

Then I will sing Your praises forever,
fulfilling my vows with a heart full of gratitude.
