1 To the overseer upon the stringed instrument; to David. Hear, O God, my wailing; attend to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I will call to thee, in the fainting of my heart: thou wilt lead me into the rock it will be lifted up above me.
3 For thou wert a refuge to me, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.
4 I will dwell in thy tent forever: I will put my trust in the covering of thy wings. Silence.
5 For thou, O God, heartiest to my vows: thou gavest the inheritance to those fearing thy name.
6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years as generation and generation.
7 He shall dwell before God forever: mercy and truth a portion shall guard him.
8 Thus will I play on the harp to thy name forever, to repay me my vows day by day.
