To the chief Musician upon Neginoth, A Psalm of David.
8,6,8,6
1O God, give ear unto my cry; unto my pray’r attend. 2From th’ utmost corner of the land my cry to thee I’ll send. | What time my heart is overwhelm’d, and in perplexity, Do thou me lead unto the Rock that higher is than I. | 3For thou hast for my refuge been a shelter by thy pow’r; And for defence against my foes thou hast been a strong tow’r. | 4Within thy tabernacle I for ever will abide; And under covert of thy wings with confidence me hide. | 5For thou the vows that I did make, O Lord my God, didst hear: Thou hast giv’n me the heritage of those thy name that fear. | 6A life prolong’d for many days thou to the king shalt give; Like many generations be the years which he shall live. | 7He in God’s presence his abode for evermore shall have: O do thou truth and mercy both prepare, that may him save. | 8And so will I perpetually sing praise unto thy name; That having made my vows, I may each day perform the same. | |
