1O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer. 2From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me: 3because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy. 4I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. Pause. 5For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name. 6You shall add days to the days of the king; you shall lengthen his years to all generations. 7He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth? 8So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
