For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

1Hear my cry, O God;
         Give heed to my prayer.

2From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
         Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3For You have been a refuge for me,
         A tower of strength against the enemy.

4Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
         Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

5For You have heard my vows, O God;
         You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.

6You will prolong the king’s life;
         His years will be as many generations.

7He will abide before God forever;
         Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.

8So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
         That I may pay my vows day by day.
