You are the One I will call when pushed to the edge,
    when my heart is faint.
    Shoulder me to the rock above me.
For You are my protection,
    an impenetrable fortress from my enemies.

Let me live in Your sanctuary forever;
    let me find safety in the shadow of Your wings.

  1. 61:4 Literally, selah, likely a musical direction from a Hebrew root meaning “to lift up”

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

I long to dwell(E) in your tent forever
    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[a](F)
