New Century Version

Psalms 61

A Prayer for Protection

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.

1 God, hear my cry;
listen to my prayer.
2 I call to you from the ends of the earth
    when I am afraid.
    Carry me away to a high mountain.
3 You have been my protection,
    like a strong tower against my enemies.

4 Let me live in your Holy Tent forever.
    Let me find safety in the shelter of your wings. Selah

5 God, you have heard my promises.
    You have given me what belongs to those who fear you.

6 Give the king a long life;
    let him live many years.
7 Let him rule in the presence of God forever.
    Protect him with your love and truth.
8 Then I will praise your name forever,
    and every day I will keep my promises.
