1Für den Chorleiter: Ein Psalm Davids, für Begleitung mit Saiteninstrumenten.2Gott, vernimm mein Schreien! Höre mein Gebet! (Ps 64,2; Ps 86,6)3Vom Ende der Erde schreie ich zu dir um Hilfe, denn ich habe Angst. Führe du mich in Sicherheit, (Ps 77,4)4denn bei dir finde ich Zuflucht. Du bist wie eine Burg, in der ich vor meinen Feinden geborgen bin. (Ps 18,3; Ps 62,8; Spr 18,10)5Lass mich für immer in deinem Heiligtum leben, wo ich unter dem Schutz deiner Flügel sicher sein kann! (Ps 17,9; Ps 23,6; Ps 27,4; Ps 91,4)6Gott, denn du hast meine Versprechen gehört. Du hast mir einen Anteil von dem Erbe gegeben, das für die bestimmt ist, die deinen Namen achten. (Ps 56,13; Mal 2,5; Mal 3,20)7Erhalte das Leben des Königs, dass noch viele Generationen seine Herrschaft erleben!8Unter Gottes Schutz soll er für immer und ewig regieren. Lass deine Gnade und Treue ihn behüten. (Ps 40,12; Ps 41,13)9Dann will ich deinen Namen für immer loben, um damit täglich meine Versprechen zu erfüllen. (Ps 30,5; Ps 65,2; Ps 71,22)
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.
1To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; (Ps 4,1; Ps 55,1)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, (Ps 18,2; Ps 77,3)3for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. (Ps 14,6; Spr 18,10)4Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! (Ps 15,1; Ps 17,8; Ps 27,4)5For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.6Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! (Ps 21,4; Ps 63,11)7May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him! (Ps 40,11)8So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day. (Ps 50,14)
