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!

To the Heavenly Worship Leader upon a stringed instrument, [A Psalm (sacred song about or to God)] of David [Beloved].
1Hear my cry, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; attend unto my prayer.
2From the end of the earth will I cry unto youi, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.
3For youi have been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy.
4I will abide in youri tabernacle forever: I will trust in the covert (a shelter; a hiding place) of youri wings. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said].
5For youi, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], have heard my vows: youi have given [me] the heritage of those that fear youri name.
6youi will prolong the king’s life: [and] his years as many generations.
7He shall abide before God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] forever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him.
8So will I sing praise unto youri name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
