¹ To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; ² from the end of the earth I call to thee, when my heart is faint. Lead thou me to the rock that is higher than I; ³ for thou art my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. ⁴ Let me dwell in thy tent for ever! Oh to be safe under the shelter of thy wings! [Selah] ⁵ For thou, O God, hast heard my vows, thou hast given me the heritage of those who fear thy name. ⁶ Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! ⁷ May he be enthroned for ever before God; bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him! ⁸ So will I ever sing praises to thy name, as I pay my vows day after day.
