GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 Listen to my cry for help, O God. Pay attention to my prayer.
1
To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth, I call to you when I begin to lose heart. Lead me to the rock that is high above me.
2
From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
3
For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
4 I would like to be a guest in your tent forever and to take refuge under the protection of your wings. Selah
4
I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
5 O God, you have heard my vows. You have given me the inheritance that belongs to those who fear your name.
5
For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.
6 Add days upon days to the life of the king. May his years endure throughout every generation.
6
You will prolong the king's life, His years as many generations.
7 May he sit enthroned in the presence of God forever. May mercy and truth protect him.

He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him!

So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows.
