from PSALMS 27 & 61
Lyrics
Hear my cry, God;
listen to my prayer.
(Hear me, my God;
listen, please 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.
Hear my cry, my God;
listen to my prayer.
(Hear me, oh God;
listen, please listen to my prayer.)
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;
listen, please listen to my prayer.)
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.
Hear my praises, my God;
listen to my prayer, Adonai.
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.
For you, God, have heard my vows;
You have given me
the heritage of those
who fear Your name.
You have given me
the heritage of those
who fear Your name.
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 listened, You listened to my prayer.
(You heard my praises,
Adonai my God;
You've given me the heritage
of those
who fear
Your name.)
Let me live in Your house, Adonai
all the days of my life;
Let me see Your beauty
and visit in Your temple.
