Psalms

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer!

In despair and far from home I call to you! Take me to a safe refuge,

for you are my protector, my strong defense against my enemies.

Let me live in your sanctuary all my life; let me find safety under your wings.

You have heard my promises, O God, and you have given me what belongs to those who honor you.

Add many years to the king's life; let him live on and on!

May he rule forever in your presence, O God; protect him with your constant love and faithfulness.

So I will always sing praises to you, as I offer you daily what I have promised.
