You have heard my vow

1
Unto the end. With hymns, of David.
2
O God, pay attention to my supplication. Be attentive to my prayer.
3
I cried out to you from the ends of the earth. When my heart was in anguish, you exalted me on a rock. You have led me,
4
for you have been my hope, a tower of strength before the face of the enemy.
5
I will dwell in your tabernacle forever. I will be protected under the cover of your wings.
6
For you, my God, have listened to my prayer. You have granted an inheritance to those who fear your name.
7
You will add days to the days of the king, to his years, even to the time of generation after generation.
8
He remains in eternity, in the sight of God. Who will long for his mercy and truth?
9
So I will compose a psalm to your name, forever and ever, so that I may repay my vows from day to day.

You have heard my vow

1
Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.
2
From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3
For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
4
I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
5
For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6
You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.
7
He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8
So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
