1To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto 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 will I cry unto thee, 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 thou hast been a shelter for me, and 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 thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. | 4I will live in Your tent forever and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings. Selah |
5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. | 5God, You have heard my vows; You have given a heritage to those who fear Your name. |
6Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations. | 6Add days to the king's life; may his years span many generations. |
7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. | 7May he sit enthroned before God forever; appoint faithful love and truth to guard him. |
8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. | 8Then I will continually sing of Your name, fulfilling my vows day by day. |
