Psalms 61:2
1 Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
