**1 **\{To the chief Musician upon Neginah, *A Psalm* of David.} Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

**2 **From 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.

**3 **For thou hast been a shelter for me, *and* a strong tower from the enemy.

**4 **I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

**5 **For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given *me* the heritage of those that fear thy name.

**6 **Thou wilt prolong the king's life: *and* his years as many generations.

**7 **He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, *which* may preserve him.

**8 **So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
