1 Hear my cry, God.

Listen to my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For you have been a refuge for me,

a strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will dwell in your tent forever.

I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.

5 For you, God, have heard my vows.

You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 You will prolong the king’s life.

His years will be for generations.

7 He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever.

Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever,

that I may fulfill my vows daily.

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. ]
