VOTA PUBLICA (Vows of the People)
Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I call to you,
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I;
For you are my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.
Let me abide in your tent for ever,
find refuge under the shelter of your wings.
For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of
those who fear your name.
Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
May he be enthroned for ever
before God;
Appoint steadfast love and
faithfulness to watch over him!
So I will always sing praises to your
name,
as I pay my vows day after day.
