Hear My Cry; Listen to My Prayer

1For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.

2From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me:

3because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

4I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause.

5For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

6Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; thou shalt lengthen his years to all generations.

7He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

8So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
