Psalms 61
61
A Prayer for Protection
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1God, hear my cry.
Listen to my prayer.
2I call to you from the ends of the earth.
I am afraid.
Carry me away to a high mountain.
3You have been my protection,
like a strong tower against my enemies.
4Let me live in your Holy Tent forever.
Protect me as a bird protects its young under its wings. Selah
5God, you have heard my promises.
You have given me the things that belong to those who fear you.
6Give the king a long life.
Let him live many years.
7Let him rule in the presence of God forever.
Protect him with your love and truth.
8Then I will praise your name forever.
And every day I will keep my promises.

Psalms 61
61
Psalm 61#In Hebrew texts 61:1-8 is numbered 61:2-9.
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
4I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.#61:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
5For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
7May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.
