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