61 Dinggin mo ang aking daing, Oh Dios; pakinggan mo ang aking dalangin.

Mula sa wakas ng lupa ay tatawag ako sa iyo, pagka nanglupaypay ang aking puso: patnubayan mo ako sa malaking bato na lalong mataas kay sa akin.

Sapagka't ikaw ay naging aking kanlungan, matibay na moog sa kaaway.

Ako'y tatahan sa iyong tabernakulo magpakailan man: ako'y manganganlong sa lilim ng iyong mga pakpak. (Selah)

Sapagka't dininig mo, Oh Dios, ang aking mga panata: ibinigay mo ang mana sa nangatatakot sa iyong pangalan.

Iyong pahahabain ang buhay ng hari: Ang kaniyang mga taon ay magiging parang malaong panahon.

Siya'y tatahan sa harap ng Dios magpakailan man: Oh maghanda ka ng kagandahang-loob at katotohanan, upang mapalagi siya.

Sa gayo'y aawit ako ng pagpuri sa iyong pangalan magpakailan man. Upang maisagawa ko araw-araw ang aking mga panata.

A Prayer for Protection[a]

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

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

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

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

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

  1. Psalm 61:1 HEBREW TITLE: By David.

61 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

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.

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
