1
O God, listen to my cry!
Hear my prayer!
2
From the ends of the earth,
I cry to you for help
when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
3
for you are my safe refuge,
a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
4
Let me live forever in your sanctuary,
safe beneath the shelter of your wings!

5
For you have heard my vows, O God.
You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name.
6
Add many years to the life of the king!
May his years span the generations!
7
May he reign under God’s protection forever.
May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him.
8
Then I will sing praises to your name forever
as I fulfill my vows each day.
