Open saved chapters

For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. 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. .

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.

About this reading layout

Reading paragraphs add editorial spacing between unchanged verses. They do not reconstruct the original manuscript’s paragraphs. Verse numbers, supplied line breaks and citation links are retained. Books such as Psalms and Proverbs keep verses on separate lines; original-language and comparison views stay aligned by verse. Choose One verse per line in Reading settings whenever you prefer.

Open Word Bridge above, or tap any verse number for its word connections, cross-references, audio, and share links. Dotted words have a plain-language definition.
