King James Version KJV
English Standard Version ESV
1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
1
Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer;
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.
2
from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I,
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
3
for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
4
Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
5
For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
6
Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations!
7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
7
May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
8
So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day.
