* Hear my crying, O Lord give ear,
Hearken thou unto my prayer.
For thou hast been a shelter unto me,
A strong tower against the enemy.
I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever:
Under the cover of thy wings.
O God, thou art my God;
Early will I seek thee:
My soul thirsteth after thee,
My flesh also longeth for thee
In a barren and a thirsty land,
Where there is no water
So I will bless thee while I live:
With joyful lips my mouth shall praise thee.
Bless and praise thee ever more.

Psalm 61:1,3,4 and 63:1,4/5
