1God, please hear my cry for help; please listen to my prayer.
2From this distant place, far from home, I cry out to you as my courage fails. Take me to a rock high above me where I will be safe,
3for you are my protection, a strong tower where my enemies cannot attack me.
4Let me live with you forever; protect me under the shelter of your wings. Selah.
5For you, God, have heard the promises I've made. You have given all those who love your character your special blessing.
6Please give the king many extra years; may his reign last through generations.
7May he always live in your presence; may your trustworthy love and faithfulness protect him.
8Then I will always sing praises to you, and every day I will keep my promises to you.
