Hear my cry of lamentation, O God;
Give heed to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength before the enemy.
Let me sojourn in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.

Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may guard him.
So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
As I pay my vows day by day.
