| 1God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer. | 1For the choir director: on stringed instruments. Davidic. God, hear my cry; pay attention 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. | 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 refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy. | 3for You have been a refuge for me, a strong tower in the face of the enemy. |
| 4Let me make my home in your tent forever; let me hide under the shelter of your wings. Interlude | 4I will live in Your tent forever and 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. | 5God, You have heard my vows; You have given a heritage to those who fear Your name. |
| 6Add day after day to the king's life; may his years continue for many generations. | 6Add days to the king's life; may his years span many generations. |
| 7May he be enthroned before God forever; Appoint your gracious love and truth to guard him. | 7May he sit enthroned before God forever; appoint faithful love and truth to guard him. |
| 8So I will sing songs to your name forever; I will fulfill my promises day by day. | 8Then I will continually sing of Your name, fulfilling my vows day by day. |
