¹For the leader. With stringed instruments. By David:

²Hear my cry, God;

listen to my prayer.

³From the end of the earth, with fainting heart,

I call out to you.

Set me down on a rock

far above where I am now.

⁴For you have been a refuge for me,

a tower of strength in the face of the foe.

⁵I will live in your tent forever

and find refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

⁶For you, God, have heard my vows;

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

⁷Prolong the life of the king!

May his years go on for many generations.

⁸May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever!

Appoint grace and truth to preserve him!

⁹Then I will sing praise to your name forever,

as day after day I fulfill my vows.
