You Have Heard My Vows

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David.

Hear my cry, O God;

attend to my prayer.

2 

From the ends of the earth I call out to You

whenever my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock

[that] is higher than I.

3 

For You have been my refuge

a tower of strength against the enemy.

4 

Let me dwell in Your tent forever

and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

5 

For You have heard my vows, O God;

You have given me the inheritance

reserved for those who fear Your name.

6 

Increase the days of the king’s life;

may his years span many generations

7 

May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever;

appoint Your loving devotion

and Your faithfulness to guard him.

8 

Then I will ever sing praise to Your name

and fulfill my vows day by day.
