Lead Me to the Rock
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David.
1 Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;

when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
when my heart is faint.
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
