[1] To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. [2]
Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; [3] from the end of the earth I
call to thee, when my heart is faint. Lead thou me to the rock that is
higher than I; [4] for thou art my refuge, a strong tower against the
enemy. [5] Let me dwell in thy tent for ever! Oh to be safe under the
shelter of thy wings! [Selah] [6] For thou, O God, hast heard my vows, thou
hast given me the heritage of those who fear thy name. [7] Prolong the life
of the king; may his years endure to all generations! [8] May he be
enthroned for ever before God; bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch
over him! [ (Psalms 61:9) So will I ever sing praises to thy name, as I pay
my vows day after day. ]
