International Standard Version

1 God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth I will cry to you whenever my heart is overwhelmed. Place me on the rock that’s too high for me.

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy.

4 Let me make my home in your tent forever; let me hide under the shelter of your wings. Interlude

5 For you, God, have heard my promises; you have assigned to me ^b the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Add day after day to the king’s life; may his years continue ^c for many generations.

7 May he be enthroned before God forever; Appoint your ^d gracious love and truth to guard him.

8 So I will sing songs to your name forever; I will fulfill my promises day by day.
