UTAH: Top of the Mountains
"HEAR my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
"From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
"For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
"I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings . . .
"So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows."
--Psalm 61
