Psalm 61:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 You are the safe place where I can hide.
You are like a strong tower
that keeps me safe against my enemies.[a]
4 I want to live in your house for ever.
I want you to keep me safe,
like birds protect their babies under their wings.
Selah.
5 You, God, have heard my promises to you.
You have blessed me,
as you bless all those people who serve you.
