1Hear my cry, O God;

listen to my prayer.*

2From the end of the earth I call to you,

when my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock

that is higher than I,*

3for you are my refuge,

a strong tower against the enemy.*

4Let me abide in your tent forever,

find refuge under the shelter of your wings.   Selah*

5For you, O God, have heard my vows;

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

6Prolong the life of the king;

may his years endure to all generations!*

7May he be enthroned forever before God;

appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!*

8So I will always sing praises to your name,

as I pay my vows day after day.*
