Assurance of God’s Eternal Protection
To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument.
A
Psalm
of David.
1 Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a shelter for me,
# A strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;
# I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.
Selah
5 For You, O God, have heard my vows;
You have givenmethe heritage of those who fear Your name.
6 You will prolong the king’s life,
His years as many generations.
7 He shall abide before God forever.
# Oh, prepare mercyand truth,whichmay preserve him!
8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may daily perform my vows.
