from PSALMS 27 & 61

Hear my cry, God;

listen to my prayer.

Hear me, my God;

(listen

listen to)

listen to my prayer.

From the end of the earth,

with fainting heart,

I call out to you.

Set me down

on a rock

far above

where I am now.

For You will conceal me

in Your shelter

on the day of trouble

You will hide me

in the folds of Your tent.

You will set me high on a rock.

Then my head will be lifted up

above my surrounding foes,

and I will offer in Your tent

sacrifices with shouts of joy;

I will sing, sing praises to You, Adonai.

Hear my praises, my God;

listen to my prayer.

Hear my praises, oh God;

(My praises

Hear my praises)

my praises to You, Adonai

Set me down on a rock

far above where I am now.

For You have been

a refuge for me,

a tower of strength

in the face of the foe.

Just one thing have I asked of You;

only this will I seek:

to live in Your house, Adonai

all the days of my life,

to see Your beauty

and visit in Your temple.

For You have heard my vows;

You have given me

the heritage of those

who fear Your name.

I will live in Your tent forever

and find refuge

in the shelter of Your wings.

Appoint grace and truth

to preserve me;

Then I will sing praise to Your name forever,

as day after day I fulfill my vows.

You Heard my praises, my God;

(You heard my praises)

my praises to You, Adonai

You heard my praises, my God;

You listened to my prayer.

Honour

and glory

and thanksgiving

be to You,

the only Living God.

Halleluya Halleluya Halleluya

Halleluya!
