3. For thou hast for my refuge beena shelter by thy pow'r;And for defence against my foesthou hast been a strong tow'r.

4. Within thy tabernacle Ifor ever will abide;And under covert of thy wingswith confidence me hide.

5. For thou the vows that I did make,O Lord my God, didst hear:Thou hast giv'n me the heritageof those thy name that fear.

6. A life prolong'd for many daysthou to the king shalt give;Like many generations bethe years which he shall live.

7. He in God's presence his abodefor evermore shall have:O do thou truth and mercy bothprepare, that may him save.

8. And so will I perpetuallysing praise unto thy name;That having made my vows, I mayeach day perform the same.
