1Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
2From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
2Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
3For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
3For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
4Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
4How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
5For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.
5But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
6Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.
6But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
7May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.
7For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
8Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
8In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
