To the director.[339] With stringed instruments. A song of David.[340]
<1> God, hear my prayer song.
Listen to my prayer.
<2> Wherever I am, however weak,
I will call to you for help!
Carry me to the place of safety far above.[341]
<3> You are my place of safety!
You are the strong tower protecting me from my enemies.
<4> I want to live in your tent[342] forever.
I want to hide where you can protect me.
Selah[343]
<5> God, you heard what I promised to give you,
but everything your worshipers have comes from you.
<6> Give the king a long life.
Let him live forever!
<7> Let him rule in your presence forever!
Protect him with your faithful love.
<8> Then I will praise your name forever.
Every day I will do what I promised.
