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.
