Security in God

For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Davidic.

1 God, hear my cry;
pay attention to my prayer.(A)
2 I call to You from the ends of the earth
when my heart is without strength.(B)
Lead me to a rock that is high above me,(C)
3 for You have been a refuge for me,
a strong tower(D) in the face of the enemy.

and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings.(E)Selah

5 God, You have heard my vows;(F)
You have given a heritage

Kungens bön

61 För körledaren, till stränginstrument. Av David.

2 Gud, lyssna till mitt rop!
    Hör min bön!

3 Från jordens ände ropar jag till dig i min svaghet.
    Led mig upp på klippan, som är högre än jag.
4 Du är min tillflykt,
    ett starkt torn mot fienden.

5 Jag vill för alltid bo i ditt tält
    och ta min tillflykt under dina vingars skugga. Séla
6 Du har hört mina löften, Gud,
    och du har gett mig deras arv som fruktar dig.

7 Ge kungen ett långt liv,
    många år från generation till generation.
8 Låt honom sitta på sin tron inför Gud i evighet.
    Låt din nåd och trofasthet bevara honom.

9 Då ska jag ständigt prisa ditt namn.
    Dag efter dag ska jag uppfylla mina löften.
