1 For the choir director; on a stringed instrument; by David. Listen to my cry for help, O God. Pay attention to my prayer. 2 From the ends of the earth, I call to you when I begin to lose heart. Lead me to the rock that is high above me. 3 You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy. 4 I would like to be a guest in your tent forever and to take refuge under the protection of your wings. Selah 5 O God, you have heard my vows. You have given me the inheritance that belongs to those who fear your name. 6 Add days upon days to the life of the king. May his years endure throughout every generation. 7 May he sit enthroned in the presence of God forever. May mercy and truth protect him. 8 Then I will make music to praise your name forever, as I keep my vows day after day. GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of God's Word to the Nations.
