CEB

NIV

1 God, listen to my cry; pay attention to my prayer!
1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.
2 When my heart is weak, I cry out to you from the very ends of the earth. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I am
2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 because you have been my refuge, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
4 Please let me live in your tent forever! Please let me take refuge in the shelter of your wings! Selah
4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
5 Because you, God, have heard my promises; you've given me the same possession as those who honor your name.
5 For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Add days to the king's life! Let his years extend for many generations!
6 Increase the days of the king’s life, his years for many generations.
7 Let him be enthroned forever before God! Make it so love and faithfulness watch over him!
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever, and I will do what I promised every single day.
8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
