Sálmarnir kap. 61

1 For the music director; to be played on a stringed instrument; written by David. O God, hear my cry for help! Pay attention to my prayer!

2 From the most remote place on earth I call out to you in my despair. Lead me up to an inaccessible rocky summit!

3 Indeed, you are my shelter, a strong tower that protects me from the enemy.

4 I will be a permanent guest in your home; I will find shelter in the protection of your wings. (Selah)

5 For you, O God, hear my vows; you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers.

6 Give the king long life! Make his lifetime span several generations!

7 May he reign forever before God! Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him.

8 Then I will sing praises to your name continually, as I fulfill my vows day after day.
