The Psalms

[For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.] Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer.

From the end of the earth I call to Thee, when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy.

Let me dwell in Thy tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Thy wings. [Selah].

For Thou hast heard my vows, O God; Thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those who fear Thy name.

Thou wilt prolong the king's life; His years will be as many generations.

He will abide before God forever; Appoint lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

So I will sing praise to Thy name forever, That I may pay my vows day by day.
