Psalms 61
61
A Prayer for Protection#Ps 61 Hebrew title: By David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer!
2In despair and far from home
I call to you!
Take me to a safe refuge,
3for you are my protector,
my strong defence against my enemies.
4Let me live in your sanctuary all my life;
let me find safety under your wings.
5You have heard my promises, O God,
and you have given me what belongs to those who honour you.
6Add many years to the king's life;
let him live on and on!
7May he rule for ever in your presence, O God;
protect him with your constant love and faithfulness.
8So I will always sing praises to you,
as I offer you daily what I have promised.

Psalm 61
Confidence in God’s Protection.
To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
Listen to my prayer.
2From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help].
3For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me,
A strong tower against the enemy.
4Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.
5¶For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name [with reverence].
6You will prolong the king’s life [adding days upon days];
His years will be like many generations.
7He will sit enthroned forever before [the face of] God;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth to watch over and preserve him.
8So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
Paying my vows day by day.
