Psalm 61

Words: The Psalter Hymnal

L.M.
(886 886 - we especially like this with "Meribah"

 1  O God, regard my humble plea;
    I cannot be so far from Thee
       But Thou wilt hear my cry;
    When I by trouble am distressed,
    Then lead me on the rock to rest
       That higher is than I.

 2  In Thee my soul has shelter found,
    And Thou hast been from foes around
       The tower to which I flee.
    Within Thy house will I abide;
    My refuge sure, whate'er betide,
       Thy sheltering wings shall be.

 3  For Thou, O God, my vows hast heard,
    On me the heritage conferred
       Of those that fear Thy name;
    A blest anointing thou dost give,
    And thou wilt make me ever live
       Thy praises to proclaim.

 4  Before Thy face shall I abide;
    O God, Thy truth and grace provide
       To guard me in the way;
    So I will make Thy praises known,
    And, humbly bending at Thy throne,
       My vows will daily pay.
