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.
