To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.*61.4 trust: or, make my refuge

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: and his years as many generations.*61.6 Thou…: Heb. Thou shalt add days to the days of the king*61.6 as…: Heb. as generation and generation

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

大卫的诗，交给诗班长，用丝弦的乐器伴奏。 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盘石上面去。

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。
