You have heard my vow

God, listen to me and answer my prayer.

While I am discouraged and far from my home, I am calling out to you. Lead me to a place that will be like a high rock on top of which I will be safe.

You have been my refuge; you have been like a strong tower in which my enemies cannot attack me.

Allow me to live close to your sacred tent all during my life! Allow me to be safe as a little bird is safe under its mother’s wings.

God, you heard me when I solemnly promised to give offerings to you; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you.

I am the king of Israel; please allow me to live and rule for many years, and allow my descendants to rule also.

Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.

If you do that, I will always sing to praise you while I offer to you each day the sacrifices that I promised to give to you.

You have heard my vow

Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.

For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
