Psalm 61

Psalm 61:1-8 (KJV)

  1. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
  2. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
  3. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
  4. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
  5. For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
  6. Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
  7. He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
  8. So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Prayer Inspired by Psalm 61

Heavenly Father,
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.
From the farthest reaches of the earth, I call to You when my heart is faint and overwhelmed.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for You have always been my refuge,
A strong tower against the foe.

In Your presence, I seek shelter; let me dwell in Your sacred tent forever,
Finding safety under the shelter of Your wings.
You, O Lord, have heard my vows; You have given me the inheritance of those who revere Your name.

Add days to my life, Lord, as many generations,
Let me serve You and dwell in Your presence all my days.
Prepare Your mercy and truth to protect and guide me.

I will sing praises to Your name, O Lord, forever,
Fulfilling my vows day by day with a grateful heart.
For in Your strength, I find peace, and in Your promises, I find hope, in the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
