|
|
|
|
|
|
1. O God, listen to my cry!
|
|
|
|
Hear my prayer!
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. From the ends of the earth,
|
|
|
|
I cry to you for help
|
|
|
|
when my heart is overwhelmed.
|
|
|
|
Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. for you are my safe refuge,
|
|
|
|
a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Let me live forever in your sanctuary,
|
|
|
|
safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. For you have heard my vows, O God.
|
|
|
|
You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Add many years to the life of the king!
|
|
|
|
May his years span the generations!
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. May he reign under God's protection forever.
|
|
|
|
May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Then I will sing praises to your name forever
|
|
|
|
as I fulfill my vows each day.
