King James Version KJV
Good News Translation GNT
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
In despair and far from home I call to you! Take me to a safe refuge,
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
3
for you are my protector, my strong defense against my enemies.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
4
Let me live in your sanctuary all my life; let me find safety under your wings.
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
5
You have heard my promises, O God, and you have given me what belongs to those who honor you.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
6
Add many years to the king's life; let him live on and on!
7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
7
May he rule forever in your presence, O God; protect him with your constant love and faithfulness.
8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
8
So I will always sing praises to you, as I offer you daily what I have promised.
