  1. 1[For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David]. Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

  3. 3For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
  4. 4I will dwell in thy tabernacle 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 [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.
  6. 6Thou wilt prolong the king's life; His years shall be as many generations.
  7. 7He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
  8. 8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.
