'From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.' A tower from the enemy; 'I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings.' Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. Prayer for the king (days prolonged, years as many generations, abiding before God), 'so will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.'
