1To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 2From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 4I will abide in thy tabernacle forever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. 5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. 6Thou wilt prolong the king 's life: and his years as many generations. 7He shall abide before God forever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. 8So will I sing praise unto thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
