To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

2 From 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.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: And his years as many generations.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.
