This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

A prayer for protection

Psa 61:1–8

61  For the musical director: a song by David to be accompanied by stringed instruments.

1 Hear my call for help, God.

≈ Answer my prayer.

2 I call to you from the ends of the earth when I feel faint.

→ Lead me to the rock of stability that’s high above me

3 because you’ve been a place of protection for me—

≈ a tower that’s fortified from the enemy.

4 Let me live in your tent forever.

≈ Let me find protection under the shelter of your wings. (Instrumental break.)

5 because you, God, have heard my promises.

You’ve given me the inheritance that’s given to those who honour you.

6 You’ll prolong the king’s life—

≈ his years will be like generation after generation.

7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever.

≈ May loyal commitment and faithfulness preserve him.

8 I’ll sing praise to you forever

so that I can fulfil my promises every day.
