² From the ends of the earth I call to you,
    I call as my heart grows faint;^(C)
    lead me to the rock^(D) that is higher than I.
³ For you have been my refuge,^(E)
    a strong tower against the foe.^(F)

⁴ I long to dwell^(G) in your tent forever
    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.^[b](H)
5 For you, God, have heard my vows;^(I)
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.^(J)

⁶ Increase the days of the king’s life,^(K)
    his years for many generations.^(L)
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;^(M)
    appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.^(N)

⁸ Then I will ever sing in praise of your name^(O)
    and fulfill my vows day after day.^(P)

³ How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,^(G) this tottering fence?
⁴ Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.^[b](H)

⁵ Yes, my soul, find rest in God;^(I)
    my hope comes from him.
⁶ Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God^[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.^(J)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;^(K)
    pour out your hearts to him,^(L)
    for God is our refuge.

⁹ Surely the lowborn^(M) are but a breath,^(N)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,^(O) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
¹⁰ Do not trust in extortion^(P)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;^(Q)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.^(R)

¹¹ One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,^(S)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;^(T)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”^(U)

⁵ You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,^(I)
    God our Savior,^(J)
the hope of all the ends of the earth^(K)
    and of the farthest seas,^(L)
6 who formed the mountains^(M) by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,^(N)
7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,^(O)
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.^(P)
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.^(Q)

⁹ You care for the land and water it;^(R)
    you enrich it abundantly.^(S)
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,^(T)
    for so you have ordained it.^[d]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers^(U) and bless its crops.
¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty,^(V)
    and your carts overflow with abundance.^(W)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;^(X)
    the hills are clothed with gladness.^(Y)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks^(Z)
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;^(AA)
    they shout for joy and sing.^(AB)
