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.

1Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.2From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.3For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.4I long to dwell in your tent for ever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[1]5For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.6Increase the days of the king’s life, his years for many generations.7May he be enthroned in God’s presence for ever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.8Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfil my vows day after day.
