1For the leader: on stringed instruments: for David GOD, hear my cry; listen to my prayer.
2From the end of the earth I call to you with fainting heart; lift me up and set me high on a rock.
3For you have been my shelter, a tower of strength against the enemy.
4In your tent I shall make my home for ever and find shelter under the cover of your wings. [Selah]
5For you, God, will hear my vows and grant the wish of those who revere your name.
6To the king's life add length of days; prolong his years for many generations.
7May he abide in God's presence for ever; may true and constant love preserve him.
8So I shall ever sing psalms in honour of your name as I fulfil my vows day after day.
