¹ For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

² From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

³ For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

⁴ I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. [Selah

⁵ For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

⁶ Thou wilt prolong the king’s life; His years shall be as many generations.

⁷ He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

⁸ So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.
