¹ Please listen, God,
    and answer my prayer!
² I feel hopeless,
    and I cry out to you
    from a faraway land.

Lead me to the mighty rock^[a]
    high above me.
³ You are a strong tower,
    where I am safe
    from my enemies.

⁴ Let me live with you forever
    and find protection
    under your wings, my God.
⁵ You heard my promises,
    and you have blessed me,
    just as you bless everyone
    who worships you.

⁶ Let the king have a long
    and healthy life.
⁷ May he always rule
    with you, God, at his side;
    may your love and loyalty
    watch over him.

⁸ I will sing your praises
forever
    and will always
    keep my promises.
