1To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. 2From the end of the earth I cry to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the Rock higher than I. 3For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower before the enemy. 4I will dwell in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the hiding place of Your wings. Selah. 5For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given an inheritance to those who fear Your name. 6You will add to the days of the king's life; his years will be for many generations. 7He shall abide before God forever; prepare mercy and truth to preserve him. 8So I will sing praise to Your name forever, so that I may daily pay my vows.
