1Hear my cry, God; Give Your attention to my prayer.
2From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy.
4Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
5¶For You have heard my vows, God; You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.

7He will sit enthroned before God forever; Appoint faithfulness and truth that they may watch over him.
8So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may pay my vows day by day.
