My Favorite Psalm

Psalm 61

O God, Listen to me!  Hear my prayer!  2 For wherever I am, though far away at the ends of the earth, I will cry to You for help.  When my heart is faint and overwhelmed, lead me to the mighty, towering Rock of safety.  3 For You are my refuge, a high tower where my enemies can never reach me.  4 I shall live forever in Your tabernacle; oh, to be safe beneath the shelter of Your wings!  5 For You have heard my vows, O God, to praise You every day, and You have given me the blessings You reserve for those who reverence Your name.
6 You will give me added years of life, as rich and full as those of many generations, all packed into one.  7 And I shall live before the Lord forever.  Oh, send Your loving-kindness and truth to guard and watch over me,  8 and I will praise Your name continually, fulfilling my vow of praising You each day.
