Psalm 61:1

Free Bible Version

God, please hear my cry for help; please listen to my prayer.

See the chapter Copy

Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

Lord, please hear my cry for justice! Please pay attention to my call for help! Listen to the prayer of an honest man!

Listen as I appeal for mercy, as I call for help, as I hold up my hands in prayer towards your holy Temple.

When I call, please answer me, God who vindicates me. When I was hemmed in by troubles, you gave me a way out. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

God, because of your very nature, please save me! Vindicate me by your power!

Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!

God, please listen to my complaint. Protect me because my enemies scare me.

Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.

Don't worry about anything, but take everything to God in prayer, explaining your requests to him and thanking him for all he does.
