Psalm 61
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.
Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
From the ends of the earth I call to you
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your
wings.
For you have heard my vows, O God;
you have given me the heritage of those
who fear your name.
Increase the days of the king's [my] life,
his [my] years for many generations.
May he [I] be enthroned in God's presence
forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to
protect him [me].
Then will I ever sing praise to your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.
[in order to glorify You, O God.]
~NIV

P.S. In case it is unclear, I added the stuff in brackets to kind of clarify what I understood the Psalm to be meaning.
