For the music director – with stringed instruments. Davidic.

God, hear my cry,

listen to my prayer.

When my heart is faint I call to You

from the ends of the Earth.

Lead me to a rock high above me.

You have been a safe place for me,

a strong tower against my enemy.

Let me forever live in Your tent,

and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings.

Selah.

God, You have heard my vows.

You have given an inheritance

to those who revere Your Name.

May You add days to the King’s lifespan.

May he live for many generations.

May he forever be enthroned before God.

Appoint truth and mercy to guard him.

Then I will forever sing praises to Your Name

to daily fulfill my vows.
