61:2 From the most remote place on earth 1
I call out to you in my despair. 2
Lead me 3 up to an inaccessible rocky summit! 4
61:3 Indeed, 5 you are 6 my shelter,
a strong tower that protects me from the enemy. 7
61:4 I will be a permanent guest in your home; 8
I will find shelter in the protection of your wings. 9 (Selah)
61:5 For you, O God, hear my vows;
you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers. 10
61:6 Give the king long life!
Make his lifetime span several generations! 11
61:7 May he reign 12 forever before God!
Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him. 13
61:8 Then I will sing praises to your name continually, 14
as I fulfill 15 my vows day after day.
