Prayer Requires Dependence

Pastor Matt Looloian

Psalm 61 (English Standard Version)

Lead Me to the Rock
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David.
61 Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
2
from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
3
for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.

4
Let me dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
5
For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6
Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
7
May he be enthroned forever before God;
appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

8
So will I ever sing praises to your name,
as I perform my vows day after day.
