Oração pelo rei
Ao mestre de canto. Com instrumentos de cordas. De Davi

1 Ouve, ó Deus, a minha súplica;

atende à minha oração.

2 Desde os confins da terra clamo por ti,

no abatimento do meu coração.

Leva-me para a rocha que é alta demais para mim;

3 pois tu me tens sido refúgio

e torre forte contra o inimigo.

4 Assista eu no teu tabernáculo, para sempre;

no esconderijo das tuas asas, eu me abrigo.

5 Pois ouviste, ó Deus, os meus votos

e me deste a herança dos que temem o teu nome.

6 Dias sobre dias acrescentas ao rei;

duram os seus anos gerações após gerações.

7 Permaneça para sempre diante de Deus;

concede-lhe que a bondade e a fidelidade o preservem.

8 Assim, salmodiarei o teu nome para sempre,

para cumprir, dia após dia, os meus votos.

For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

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.

1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.

2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.

4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. [^1]

5 For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations.

7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
