Opening the chapter…
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.
