1To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.2From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.6Thou wilt prolong the king' life: and his years as many generations.7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
For the director of music. A psalm of David to be played on stringed instruments.
1God, hear my cry for help. Listen to my prayer.2From a place far away I call out to you. I call out as my heart gets weaker. Lead me to the safety of a rock that is high above me.3You have always kept me safe from my enemies. You are like a strong tower to me.4I long to live in your holy tent for ever. There I find safety in the shadow of your wings.5God, you have heard my promises. You have given me what belongs to those who worship you.6Add many days to the king’s life. Let him live on and on for many years.7May he always enjoy your blessing as he rules. Let your love and truth keep him safe.8Then I will always sing praise to you. I will keep my promises day after day.
