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 Vir die musiekleier; met snaarinstrumente. 'n Psalm van Dawid.2 o God, hoor my smeking, luister na my gebed!3 Van die einde van die aarde af roep ek U aan as my hart beswyk; lei my op 'n rots wat vir my te hoog is.4 Want U het 'n toevlug vir my geword, 'n sterk toring teen die vyand.5 Ek wil in u tent vertoef vir ewig, in die skuilplek van u vleuels my verberg. Sela.6 Want U, o God, het my geloftes gehoor; U het die besitting gegee van die wat u Naam vrees.7 Mag U dae by die koning se dae byvoeg; mag sy jare wees soos van geslag tot geslag.8 Mag hy vir ewig voor die aangesig van God op die troon sit; beskik goedertierenheid en trou, dat die hom bewaar. [ (Psalms 61:9) So wil ek psalmsing tot eer van u Naam tot in ewigheid, om my geloftes te betaal, dag n dag. ]
