² From the ends of the earth I call to you,
    I call as my heart grows faint;^(A)
    lead me to the rock^(B) that is higher than I.

2 I will stand at my watch^(A)
    and station myself on the ramparts;^(B)
I will look to see what he will say^(C) to me,
    and what answer I am to give to this complaint.^[a](D)

⁷ But as for me, I watch^(A) in hope^(B) for the Lord,
    I wait for God my Savior;
    my God will hear^(C) me.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart^(A) may fail,^(B)
    but God is the strength^(C) of my heart
    and my portion^(D) forever.

⁶ I remembered my songs in the night.
    My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

¹⁴ But I trust^(A) in you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my God.”
