| 1To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [i]A Psalm[/i] of David. Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. | 1Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; |
| 2From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. | 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, |
| 3For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. | 3for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. |
| 4I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah | 4Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah |
| 5For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name. | 5For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. |
| 6You will prolong the king’s life, His years as many generations. | 6Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! |
| 7He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him! | 7May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him! |
| 8So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows. | 8So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day. |
