1 Hear my cry, O God; 1 listen to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, 2 I call as my heart grows faint; 2 lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge, 3 a strong tower against the foe.
4 I long to dwell in your tent forever 4 and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[a]
5 For you, God, have heard my vows; 5 you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Increase the days of the king's life, 6 his years for many generations.
7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; 7 appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name 8 and fulfill my vows day after day.
