For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.

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 To the Overcomer upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth I will 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.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given an inheritance to those that fear thy name.

6 Thou wilt add days upon days unto the king's [life]; his years [shall be] from generation to generation.

7 He shall abide before God for ever; He is aware of mercy and truth [which] preserve him.

8 So I will sing thy name for ever, performing my vows each day.:
