| 1For the music director; to be played on a stringed instrument; written by David. O God, hear my cry for help! Pay attention to my prayer! | 1God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer. |
| 2From the most remote place on earth I call out to you in my despair. Lead me up to an inaccessible rocky summit! | 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. |
| 3Indeed, you are my shelter, a strong tower that protects me from the enemy. | 3For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy. |
| 4I will be a permanent guest in your home; I will find shelter in the protection of your wings. (Selah) | 4Let me make my home in your tent forever; let me hide under the shelter of your wings. Interlude |
| 5For you, O God, hear my vows; you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers. | 5For you, God, have heard my promises; you have assigned to me the heritage of those who fear your name. |
| 6Give the king long life! Make his lifetime span several generations! | 6Add day after day to the king's life; may his years continue for many generations. |
| 7May he reign forever before God! Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him. | 7May he be enthroned before God forever; Appoint your gracious love and truth to guard him. |
| 8Then I will sing praises to your name continually, as I fulfill my vows day after day. | 8So I will sing songs to your name forever; I will fulfill my promises day by day. |
