Commentary on Psalms - Volume 5

To the Chief Musician upon Neginoth. A Psalm of David

1Hear, O God! my cry, Attend to my prayer.

2From the end of the earth to thee will I cry, when vexed is my heart: To the rock which is higher than I thou shalt lead me.

3For thou hast been a hope to me, A tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

4I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will be safe under the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5For thou, O God! hast heard my vows: Thou hast given an inheritance to those who fear thy name.

6Days upon days to the king thou shalt add, His years shall be as many generations.

7He shall dwell for ever in the presence of God: Mercy and truth do thou prepare: thou shalt preserve him.

8So will I sing unto thy name for ever, That I may perform my vows every day.
