Poems (Follen)/The Sixty-First Psalm

​
THE SIXTY-FIRST PSALM.
Wilt thou listen, O God! to my prayer;  Unto thee for relief will I cry. Lead my heart, overwhelmed with despair,  To the Rock that is higher than I.
O, thou Refuge for all the oppressed,  Thy praises, O Lord, I will sing: Thou art ever my shelter of rest;  I will trust in the shade of thy wing.
For my prayer, O my God, thou wilt hear,  And a blessed inheritance give To those who shall serve thee with fear, And in holy obedience live.
