Psalms 61:3–4

¹⁰The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

⁷In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

⁷O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

²The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

¹⁰Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

³¶ Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

⁴And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

⁶There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

⁷Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

⁸Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

⁴One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

⁴He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

¹LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

¹BE merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

⁷Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

¹²The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

³⁷O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

⁷In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

¹HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

¹⁸That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

⁴I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

⁵I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

¹²Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

¹LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

¹³Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

⁷He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
