King James Bible | International Standard Version |
1To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. | 1God, 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. | 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. |
3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. | 3For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy. |
4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. | 4Let me make my home in your tent forever; let me hide under the shelter of your wings. Interlude |
5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. | 5For you, God, have heard my promises; you have assigned to me the heritage of those who fear your name. |
6Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations. | 6Add day after day to the king's life; may his years continue for many generations. |
7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. | 7May he be enthroned before God forever; Appoint your gracious love and truth to guard him. |
8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. | 8So I will sing songs to your name forever; I will fulfill my promises day by day. |
