For you have heard my vows, O God.

6 Add many years to the life of the king!
    May his years span the generations!
7 May he reign under God’s protection forever.
    May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him. 8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever
    as I fulfill my vows each day. Psalm 61:5-8
