For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.
[1] Hear my cry, God.Listen to my prayer.
[2] From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
[3] For you have been a refuge for me,
a strong tower from the enemy.
[4] I will dwell in your tent forever.
I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Selah. [5] For you, God, have heard my vows.
You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
[6] You will prolong the king’s life.
His years will be for generations.
[7] He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever.
Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
[8] So I will sing praise to your name forever,
that I may fulfill my vows daily.
