To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my cry, Oh God; attend to my prayer.
2 From the end of the Earth will I cry to you, when my mind is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a shelter for me and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in your tabernacle through the Kingdom Age. I will flee for protection in the covert of your wings. Selah.
5 For You, Oh God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who reverence Your Name.
6 You will prolong the King's Life and His years through the Age of the Ages.
7 He shall abide before God through the Kingdom Age.  Oh prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve Him.
8 So will I sing praise to Your Name through the Kingdom Age, that I may daily perform my vows.
