Israel's prayer book and ours — praise, lament, and trust for every season of the soul.
1[To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.] Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.2From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. trust: or, make my refuge5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.6Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations. Thou...: Heb. Thou shalt add days to the days of the kingas...: Heb. as generation and generation7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
