1Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.
1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
2From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. 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 a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
3For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
4I will dwell in your tent forever. I will 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, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of 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.
6You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.
6But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
7He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
7For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
8So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
8In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
