1. ¹Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.
2. ²From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my eart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.
3. ³For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.
4. ⁴I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5. ⁵For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [supplied: me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.
6. ⁶Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.
7. ⁷He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8. ⁸So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.
