Psalms 61

Prayer for Protection
To the Pure and Shining One
A song for the guitar by King David
1O God, hear my prayer. Listen to my heart’s cry.
2For no matter where I am, even when I’m far from home,
I will cry out to you for a father’s help.
When I’m feeble and overwhelmed by life,
guide me into your glory, where I am safe and sheltered.
3Lord, you are a paradise of protection to me.
You lift me high above the fray.
None of my foes can touch me
when I’m held firmly in your wraparound presence!
4Keep me in this glory.
Let me live continually under your splendor-shadow,
hiding my life in you forever.
Pause in his presence
5You have heard my sweet resolutions
to love and serve you, for I am your beloved.
And you have given me an inheritance of rich treasures,
which you give to all your devoted lovers.
6You treat me like a king, giving me a full and abundant life,
years and years of reigning, # 61:6 Or “add to the days of the king.”
like many generations rolled into one.
7I will live enthroned with you forever!
Guard me, God, with your unending, unfailing love.
Let me live my days walking in grace and truth before you.
8And my praises will fill the heavens forever,
fulfilling my vow to make every day a love-gift to you!

PSALM 61
1 To victory, on organs, to David himself. God, hear thou my beseech-ing; give thou attention to my prayer.
2From the ends of the land I cried to thee; the while mine heart was anguished, thou enhancedest me in a stone. Thou leddest me forth,
3for thou art made mine hope; a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.
4I shall dwell in thy tabernacle into worlds; I shall be covered in the covering of thy wings.
5For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer; thou hast given heritage to them that dread thy name.
6Thou shalt add, either increase, days on[to] the days of the king; his years till into the day of generation and of generation.
7He dwelleth without end in the sight of God; who shall seek the mercy and truth of him?
8So I shall say psalm to thy name into the world of world; that I yield my vows from day into day.
