Confidence in God’s Protection.
For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my cry, O God;
Give heed to my prayer.
Give heed to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy.
A tower of strength against the enemy.
4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
Selah.
5 For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.
6 You will prolong the king’s life;
His years will be as many generations.
His years will be as many generations.
7 He will abide before God forever;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.
Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.
8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may pay my vows day by day.
That I may pay my vows day by day.
