1
<<For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.>> Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.
2 In despair and far from home I call to you! Take me to a safe refuge,
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 are my protector, my strong defense against my enemies.
3
For you have been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
4 Let me live in your sanctuary all my life; let me find safety under your wings.
4
I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
5 You have heard my promises, O God, and you have given me what belongs to those who honor you.
5
For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Add many years to the king's life; let him live on and on!
6
You will prolong the king's life; His years shall be for generations.
7 May he rule forever in your presence, O God; protect him with your constant love and faithfulness.
7
He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8 So I will always sing praises to you, as I offer you daily what I have promised.
8
So I will sing praise to your name forever, That I may fulfill my vows daily.
