| 1God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer. | 1Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; |
| 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. | 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 refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy. | 3for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. |
| 4Let me make my home in your tent forever; let me hide under the shelter of your wings. Interlude | 4Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah |
| 5For you, God, have heard my promises; you have assigned to 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. |
| 6Add day after day to the king's life; may his years continue for many generations. | 6Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! |
| 7May he be enthroned before God forever; Appoint your gracious love and truth to guard him. | 7May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him! |
| 8So I will sing songs to your name forever; I will fulfill my promises day by day. | 8So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day. |
