For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.
1Hear my cry, God.
Listen to my prayer.
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.
3For You have been a refuge for me,
a strong tower from the enemy.
4I will dwell in Your tent forever.
I will take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.
5For You, God, have heard my vows.
You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.
6You will prolong the king’s life.
His years will be for generations.
7He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever.
Appoint Your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
that I may fulfill my vows daily.
1In finem. In hymnis David.
2Exaudi, Deus, deprecationem meam; intende orationi meæ. 3A finibus terræ ad te clamavi, dum anxiaretur cor meum; in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me, 4quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitudinis a facie inimici. 5Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula; protegar in velamento alarum tuarum. 6Quoniam tu, Deus meus, exaudisti orationem meam; dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum. 7Dies super dies regis adjicies; annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis. 8Permanet in æternum in conspectu Dei: misericordiam et veritatem ejus quis requiret? 9Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi, ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.
