For the end, among the Hymns of David.
O God, hearken to my petition;
Attend to my prayer.
From 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:
because thou wert my hope,
A tower of strength from the face of the enemy.
I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever;
I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause.
For thou, O God, hast heard my prayers;
Thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.
Thou shalt add days to the days of the king;
Thou shalt lengthen his years to all generations.
He shall endure forever before God:
Which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?
So will I sing to thy name forever and ever,
That I may daily perform my vows.
