1 H ear my cry, O God. Listen to my prayer.

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2 I call to You from the end of the earth when my heart is weak. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 F or You have been a safe place for me, a tower of strength where I am safe from those who fight against me.

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 L et me live in Your tent forever. Let me be safe under the covering of Your wings.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5 F or You have heard my promises, O God. You have given me that which You give to those who fear Your name.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 Y ou will add days to the life of the king. His years will be as long as the lives of many children and grandchildren added together.

Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

7 H e will stay forever with God. Set apart loving-kindness and truth to keep him safe.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8 S o I will sing thanks to Your name forever and keep my promises day by day.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
