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
For the music leader, with stringed instruments. Of David.
1God, listen to my cry;
pay attention to my prayer!
2When my heart is weak,
I cry out to you from the very ends of the earth.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I am
3because you have been my refuge,
a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
4Please let me live in your tent forever!
Please let me take refuge
in the shelter of your wings! Selah
5Because you, God, have heard my promises;
you’ve given me#61.5 Heb lacks me. the same possession
as those who honor your name.
6Add days to the king’s life!
Let his years extend for many generations!
7Let him be enthroned forever before God!
Make it so love and faithfulness watch over him!
8Then I will sing praises to your name forever,
and I will do what I promised every single day.
