1 To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. -- By David.  Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
         
                                
                        2 From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the  feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost  lead me.
         
                                
                        3 For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength  because of the enemy.
         
                                
                        4 I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret  place of Thy wings. Selah.
         
                                
                        5 For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast  appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.
         
                                
                        6 Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as  generation and generation.
         
                                
                        7 He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth  appoint -- they keep him.
