Lead Me to the Rock: To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David.
- 1 Hear my cry, O God,
- listen to my prayer;
- from the end of the earth I call to you
- when my heart is faint.
- 2 Lead me to the rock
- that is higher than I,
- 3 for you have been my refuge,
- a strong tower against the enemy.
- 4 Let me dwell in your tent forever!
- Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
- 5 For you, O God, have heard my vows;
- you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
- 6 Prolong the life of the king;
- may his years endure to all generations!
- 7 May he be enthroned forever before God;
- appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
- 8 So will I ever sing praises to your name,
- as I perform my vows day after day.
(Psalm 61)
