Hear my cry,

"Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I call to
you,
when my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock,
that is higher than I;
for you are my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.

Let me abide in your tent forever,
find refuge under the shelter of
your wings.       Selah
For you, O God, have heard my
vows;
you have given me the heritage
of those who fear your name.

Psalm 61: 1 - 5 (New Revised Standard Version)
