⁰To the choirmaster, with the stringed instrument, of David.

¹Hear my ringing cry, O God; give attention to my prayer.

²From the end of the land I call to you, when my heart grows faint; lead me to a rock higher than I.

³For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

⁴Let me sojourn in your tent forever; let me take refuge in the covering of your wings. Selah.

⁵For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given the possession of those who fear your name.

⁶Days upon the days of the king you will add, his years like generation after generation.

⁷May he dwell forever before God; appoint loyal love and stability to guard him.

⁸So I will sing praises to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.
