King David’s Assurance of Security in God

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

1HEAR my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.

  2 From the ends of the earth I call to You,
when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the Rock that is higher than me. 3 For You are my constant refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.   4 Let me abide in Your tent forever,
and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings.  Selah 5 For You, O God, have heard my vows;
You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.   6 Prolong the days of the king’s life;
his years for many generations. 7 May he remain enthroned before God forever;
appoint Your faithful love and truth to guard him.   8 Then will I always sing praise to Your name,
and fulfil my vows day after day.
