Hear my cry, God.

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed.

For you have been a refuge for me,

For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

You will prolong the king’s life.

Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
