1 Please listen, God,and answer my prayer!
2 I feel hopeless,and I cry out to youfrom a faraway land.Lead me to the mighty rockhigh above me.
3 You are a strong tower,where I am safefrom my enemies.
4 Let me live with you foreverand find protectionunder your wings, my God.
5 You heard my promises,and you have blessed me,just as you bless everyonewho worships you.
6 Let the king have a longand healthy life.
7 May he always rulewith you, God, at his side;may your love and loyaltywatch over him.
8 I will sing your praisesforever, God, and will alwayskeep my promises.
