| 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. | 2I call to You from the ends of the earth when my heart is without strength. Lead me to a rock that is high above me, |
| 3For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. | 3for You have been a refuge for me, a strong tower in the face of the enemy. |
| 4I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah | 4I will live in Your tent forever and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings. Selah |

| 6You will prolong the king’s life, His years as many generations. | 6Add days to the king's life; may his years span many generations. |
| 7He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him! | 7May he sit enthroned before God forever; appoint faithful love and truth to guard him. |
| 8So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows. | 8Then I will continually sing of Your name, fulfilling my vows day by day. |
