1  Hear my cry, O God,

^mlisten to my prayer;

2  from the end of the earth I call to you

when my heart is ⁿfaint.

Lead me to ^othe rock

that is higher than I,

3  for you have been ^pmy refuge,

a strong ^qtower against the enemy.

4  Let me ^rdwell in your tent forever!

Let me take refuge under ^sthe shelter of your wings! Selah

5  For you, O God, have heard my vows;

you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6  ^tProlong ^uthe life of the king;

may his years endure to all generations!

7  May he be enthroned forever before God;

appoint ^vsteadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

8  So will I ever sing praises to your name,

as I ^wperform my vows day after day.
