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.

1 神啊! 求你听我的呼求, 留心听我的祷告。

2 我内心沮丧的时候, 我从地极向你呼求; 求你领我到那比我更高的磐石上面去。

3 因为你作过我的避难所, 作过我逃避仇敌的坚固堡垒。

4 我要永远住在你的帐棚里, 投靠在你翅膀下的隐密处。(细拉)

5 神啊! 你听了我所许的愿; 你把产业赐给敬畏你名的人。

6 愿你增添王的寿数; 愿他的年日世世无穷。

7 愿他在 神面前永远作王; 愿你指派慈爱和诚实保护他。

8 这样, 我要永远歌颂你的名, 并且天天还我向你所许的愿。
