[For the end, among the Hymns of David.][1]O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.[2]From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me:[3]because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.[4]I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause.[5]For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.[6]Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; thou shalt lengthen his years to all generations.[7]He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?[8]So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
