| 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! |
