The Book of Psalms, Tehillim in Hebrew (תְּהִלִּים or תהילים meaning "Praises"), commonly referred to simply as Psalms or "the Psalms", is the first book of the Ketuvim ("Writings"), the third section of the Hebrew Bible, and a book of the Christian Old Testament. The title is derived from the Greek translation, ψαλμοί psalmoi, meaning "instrumental music" and, by extension, "the words accompanying the music."

Hear my cry oh God attend to my prayer.
From the ends of the Earth I cry unto You
When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the Rock
That is higher than I, that is higher than I.
For You oh Lord are a shelter unto me
And a strong tower from the enemy
When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the Rock
That is higher than I, that is higher than I.
Hear my cry oh God attend to my prayer.
From the ends of the Earth I cry unto You
When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the Rock
That is higher than I, that is higher than I.
I will abide in Your house oh my Lord, forever
I will rest in the shelter of your wings
