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 לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ עַל־נְגִינַת לְדָוִד׃

2 שִׁמְעָה אֱלֹהִים רִנָּתִי הַקְשִׁיבָה תְּפִלָּתִי׃

3 מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ ׀ אֵלֶיךָ אֶקְרָא בַּעֲטֹף לִבִּי בְּצוּר־יָרוּם מִמֶּנִּי תַנְחֵנִי׃

4 כִּי־הָיִיתָ מַחְסֶה לִי מִגְדַּל־עֹז מִפְּנֵי אֹויֵב׃

5 אָגוּרָה בְאָהָלְךָ עֹולָמִים אֶחֱסֶה בְסֵתֶר כְּנָפֶיךָ סֶּלָה׃

6 כִּי־אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים שָׁמַעְתָּ לִנְדָרָי נָתַתָּ יְרֻשַּׁת יִרְאֵי שְׁמֶךָ׃

7 יָמִים עַל־יְמֵי־מֶלֶךְ תֹּוסִיף נֹותָיו כְּמֹו־דֹר וָדֹר׃

8 יֵשֵׁב עֹולָם לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת מַן יִנְצְרֻהוּ׃

9 כֵּן אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לָעַד לְשַׁלְּמִי נְדָרַי יֹום ׀ יֹום׃
