1TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

2I call to You from the end of the land, "" In the feebleness of my heart, "" You lead me into a rock higher than I.

3For You have been a refuge for me, "" A tower of strength because of the enemy.

4I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, "" I trust in the secret place of Your wings. Selah.

5For You, O God, have listened to my vows, "" You have appointed the inheritance "" Of those fearing Your Name.

6You add days to the days of the king, "" His years as generation and generation.

7He dwells before God for all time, "" Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.

8So I praise Your Name forever, "" When I pay my vows day by day!
