PSALM 61
A Prayer for Protection
1 Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
2 From 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.
3 For You have been a shelter for
me,
A strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in Your tabernacle
forever;
I will trust in the shelter of you
Wings.
Selah
5 For You, O God, have heard my
vows;
You have given me the heritage
Of those who fear Your name.
6 You will prolong the king's life,
His years as many generations.
7 He shall abide before God
forever.
Oh, prepare mercy and truth,
Which may preserve him!
8 So I will sing praise to Your
name forever,
That I may daily perform my
Vows.
