¹Hear my cry, O God, be attentive to my prayer. ²From the ends of the earth I call unto you, when my heart is faint: lead me to the rock that is high above me. ³For you are a refuge to me, a strong tower in face of the foe. ⁴O to be guest in your tent forever, hiding beneath your sheltering wings! (Selah) ⁵For you, O God, do hear my vows, and grant the desires of those who fear you. ⁶Add many days to the life of the king; may his years endure throughout all generations. ⁷In the presence of God be he throned forever; may kindness and faithfulness watch over him. ⁸And I will sing praise to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.
