Session 131
Friday, January 26, 2007
[1]
Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; [2] from the end
of the earth I call to thee, when my heart is faint. Lead thou
me to the rock that is higher than I;
[3] for thou art my refuge, a strong tower against the
enemy. [4] Let me dwell in thy tent
for ever! Oh to be safe under the shelter of thy wings!
[5] For thou, O God, hast heard my vows,
thou |
|
hast
given me the heritage of those who fear thy name. [6]
Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all
generations! [7] May he be enthroned for ever before
God;bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him! [8]
So will I ever sing praises to thy name, as I pay my vows day
after day. |

who have fallen asleep in godliness, whether in wilderness or city, on

worthy of Your heavenly Kingdom. Amen.”
