| 1Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; | 1O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! |
| 2from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, | 2From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, |
| 3for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. | 3for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. |
| 4Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah | 4Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude |
| 5For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. | 5For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name. |
| 6Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! | 6Add many years to the life of the king! May his years span the generations! |
| 7May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him! | 7May he reign under God’s protection forever. May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him. |
| 8So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day. | 8Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day. |
