Psalms 61

   |   

A Prayer for Protection[a]

1 Hear my cry, O God;
    listen to my prayer!
2 In despair and far from home
    I call to you!

Take me to a safe refuge,
3     for you are my protector,
    my strong defense against my enemies.

4 Let me live in your sanctuary all my life;
    let me find safety under your wings.
5 You have heard my promises, O God,
    and you have given me what belongs to those who honor you.

6 Add many years to the king's life;
    let him live on and on!
7 May he rule forever in your presence, O God;
    protect him with your constant love and faithfulness.

8 So I will always sing praises to you,
    as I offer you daily what I have promised.
