The Rock That Is Higher Than I

Hear my cry, O God;
Listen to my prayer.

From the ends of the earth I call to you,
    I call as my heart grows faint;
    lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.

I long to dwell in your tent forever
    and take refuge in the shelter 

            of your wings.

                                      – Psalm 61:1-4
