King James Version KJV
1 For the leader. With stringed instruments. By David: Hear my cry, God; listen to my prayer.
1
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth, with fainting heart, I call out to you. Set me down on a rock far above where I am now.
2
From 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.
3 For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the foe.
3
For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will live in your tent forever and find refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)
4
I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5 For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
5
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6 Prolong the life of the king! May his years go on for many generations.
6
Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever! Appoint grace and truth to preserve him!
7
He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8 Then I will sing praise to your name forever, as day after day I fulfill my vows.
8
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
