Psalms 61
61
For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
1Hear my cry, O God;
Attend unto my prayer.
2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For thou hast been a refuge for me,
A strong tower from the enemy.
4I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever:
I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah
5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:
Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6Thou wilt prolong the king's life:
His years shall be as many generations.
7He shall abide before God for ever:
O prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,
That I may daily perform my vows.

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.
