For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
Hear my cry, O God;
Attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart {Or, fainteth}is overwhelmed:
Lead me to {Or, a rock that is too high for me}the rock that is higher than I.
For thou hast been a refuge for me,
A strong tower from the enemy.
I will dwell in thy {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle for ever:
I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [Selah
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:
Thou hast {Or, given a heritage unto those &c.}given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
Thou wilt prolong the king's life;
His years shall be as many generations.
He shall abide before God for ever:
Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,
That I may daily perform my vows.
