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.

Psalms 61
61
Assurance of God’s Eternal Protection
To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
2From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For You have been a shelter for me,
#Prov. 18:10A strong tower from the enemy.
4I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;
#Ps. 91:4I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.
Selah
5For You, O God, have heard my vows;
You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.
6You will prolong the king’s life,
His years as many generations.
7He shall abide before God forever.
Oh, prepare mercy #Ps. 40:11and truth, which may preserve him!
8So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may daily perform my vows.
