1 |
To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. -- By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
|
2 |
From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.
|
3 |
For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
|
4 |
I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.
|
5 |
For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.
|
6 |
Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.
|
7 |
He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint -- they keep him.
|
8 |
So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
