1“For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear my cry, O God! Attend to my prayer!

2From the extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!

3For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy.

4I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings.

5For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.

6O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!

7May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him!

8So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
