| [1]Hear my cry, O God: give ear unto my prayer. |
[1]To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. -- By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer. |
| [2]From the ends of the earth will I cry unto thee: when mine heart is oppressed, bring me upon the rock that is higher then I. |
[2]From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me. |
| [3]For thou hast been mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemy. |
[3]For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy. |
| [4]I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever, and my trust shall be under the covering of thy wings. Selah. |
[4]I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah. |
| [5]For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast given an heritage unto those that fear thy name. |
[5]For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name. |
| [6]Thou shalt give the king a long life: his years shall be as many ages. |
[6]Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation. |
| [7]He shall dwell before God forever: prepare mercy and faithfulness that they may preserve him. |
[7]He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint -- they keep him. |
| [8]So will I alway sing praise unto thy name in performing daily my vows. |
[8]So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day! |
