1 H ear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.

2 F rom the end of the earth will I cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and fainting; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 F or You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, a strong tower against the adversary.

4 I will dwell in Your tabernacle forever; let me find refuge and trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah!

5 F or You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear, revere, and honor Your name.

6 M ay You prolong the King’s life, and may His years be to the last generation.

7 M ay He sit enthroned forever before God; O ordain that loving-kindness and faithfulness may watch over Him!

8 S o will I sing praise to Your name forever, paying my vows day by day.
