Psalms 61:3-7

³You have been my refuge; you have been like a strong tower MET in which I am safe from being attacked by my enemies.

⁴Allow me to live close to your temple all during my life HYP! Allow me to be safe MET, like a little bird is safe under its mother's wings.

⁵God, you heard me when I solemnly promised to give offerings to you; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you MTY.

⁶I am the king of Israel; please allow me to live and rule for many years, and allow my descendants to rule also.

⁷Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.
