Berean Study Bible

International Standard Version

1For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

1God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer.

2From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

2From the end of the earth I will cry to you whenever my heart is overwhelmed. Place me on the rock that's too high for me.

3For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

3For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy.

4Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

4Let me make my home in your tent forever; let me hide under the shelter of your wings. Interlude

5For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

5For you, God, have heard my promises; you have assigned to me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

6Add day after day to the king's life; may his years continue for many generations.

7May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

7May he be enthroned before God forever; Appoint your gracious love and truth to guard him.

8Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

8So I will sing songs to your name forever; I will fulfill my promises day by day.
