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!

For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
Attend unto my prayer.
2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For thou hast been a refuge for me,
A strong tower from the enemy.
4I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever:
I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [Selah
5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:
Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6Thou wilt prolong the king’s life;
His years shall be as many generations.
7He shall abide before God for ever:
Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,
That I may daily perform my vows.
