Psalms 61
Lead Me to the Rock
1 (C1)Hear my cry of lamentation, O God;
(C2)Give heed to my prayer.
2 From the (C1)end of the earth I call to You when my heart is (C2)faint;
Lead me to (C3)the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a (C1)refuge for me,
A (C2)tower of strength before the enemy.
4 Let me (C1)sojourn in Your tent forever;
Let me (C2)take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F1)Selah.
5 For You, O God, have heard my (C1)vows;
You have given me the inheritance of those who (C2)fear Your name.
6 You will (C1)add days to the king's (F1)life;
His years will be from generation to generation.
7 He will sit enthroned (C1)before God forever;
Appoint (C2)lovingkindness and truth that they may guard him.
8 So I will (C1)sing praise to Your name forever,
As I (C2)pay my vows day by day.
