Psalms 61
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.
1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
2Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
3For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
4How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
5But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
6But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
7For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
8In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
9Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
10But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
11Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
12God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
13and mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
