Lead Me to a Rock That is Too High For Me

Today's psalm is written by one who has absolute trust in God. 

Hear what the Spirit is saying to God's people.
Thanks be to God.


Psalm 61


א  לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל-נְגִינַת לְדָוִד.1 For the Leader; with string-music. [A Psalm] of David.
ב  שִׁמְעָה אֱלֹהִים, רִנָּתִי;    הַקְשִׁיבָה, תְּפִלָּתִי.2 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
ג  מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ, אֵלֶיךָ אֶקְרָא--    בַּעֲטֹף לִבִּי;
בְּצוּר-יָרוּם מִמֶּנִּי    תַנְחֵנִי.
3 From the end of the earth will I call You, when my heart faints;
lead me to a rock that is too high for me.
ד  כִּי-הָיִיתָ מַחְסֶה לִי;    מִגְדַּל-עֹז, מִפְּנֵי אוֹיֵב.4 For You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
ה  אָגוּרָה בְאָהָלְךָ, עוֹלָמִים;    אֶחֱסֶה בְסֵתֶר כְּנָפֶיךָ סֶּלָה.5 I will dwell in Your Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the cover of Your wings. Selah
ו  כִּי-אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים, שָׁמַעְתָּ לִנְדָרָי;    נָתַתָּ יְרֻשַּׁת, יִרְאֵי שְׁמֶךָ.6 For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have granted the heritage of those that fear Your name.
ז  יָמִים עַל-יְמֵי-מֶלֶךְ תּוֹסִיף;    שְׁנוֹתָיו, כְּמוֹ-דֹר וָדֹר.7 May You add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!
ח  יֵשֵׁב עוֹלָם, לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים;    חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת, מַן יִנְצְרֻהוּ.8 May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.
ט  כֵּן אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לָעַד--    לְשַׁלְּמִי נְדָרַי, יוֹם יוֹם.9 So will I sing praise unto Your name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
