1 [To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. {A Psalm} of David.] Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

4 I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given {me} the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

8 So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

1 Hear my cry, O God;

Attend unto my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For thou hast been a refuge for me,

A strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever:

I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [Selah

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:

Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life;

His years shall be as many generations.

7 He shall abide before God for ever:

Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,

That I may daily perform my vows.
