For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David. ¹ Hear my cry, O God;
Give heed 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 a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy. ⁴ Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah. ⁵ For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name. ⁶ You will prolong the king’s life;
His years will be as many generations. ⁷ He will abide before God forever;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him. ⁸ So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may pay my vows day by day.
