To the Chief Musician.
On a stringed instrument.
A Psalm of David.
1
Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
2
From the end of the earth I will cry to you,
when my heart is overwhelmed;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3
For you have been a shelter for me,
and a strong tower from the enemy.
4
I will abide in your tabernacle forever;
I will trust in the shelter of your wings. Selah
5
For you, O 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 as many generations.
7
He shall abide before God forever.
Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him!
8
So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
