¹To the chief musician. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, and listen to my prayer. ²From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart faints; Oh lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. ³For You have been my shelter, a strong tower before the enemy. ⁴I will dwell in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah. ⁵For You, O God, have heard my vows; You appointed the inheritance of those who fear Your name. ⁶You will add days to the days of the king; his years will be as generations to generations. ⁷He shall abide forever before God; appoint mercy and truth to preserve him. ⁸So I will sing praise to Your name forever, so that I may pay my vows day by day.
