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!

You Have Heard My Vows
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
attend to my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth I call out to You
whenever my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I.
3For You have been my refuge,
a tower of strength against the enemy.
4Let me dwell in Your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
Selah
5For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance
reserved for those who fear Your name.
6Increase the days of the king’s life;
may his years span many generations.
7May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint Your loving devotion
and Your faithfulness to guard him.
8Then I will ever sing praise to Your name
and fulfill my vows day by day.
