1   For the music director, upon stringed instruments. Of David.

  Hear, O God, my cry;

  attend to my prayer.

2   From the end of the earth I call to you

  when my heart grows faint.

  You will lead me to a rock that is higher than I.

3   For you have been my refuge,

  a strong tower from the enemy.

4   Let me reside in your tent forever.

  Let me take refuge under the covering of your wings. Selah

5   For you, O God, you have heard my vows.

  You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6   You will add days to the days of the king,

  his years like those of many generations.

7   May he live forever in the presence of God.

  Appoint loyal love and faithfulness to preserve him.

8   So I will sing the praise of your name forever,

  that I may fulfill my vows daily.
