New Century Version NCV
English Standard Version ESV
1 God, hear my cry; listen to my prayer.
1
Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer;
2 I call to you from the ends of the earth when I am afraid. Carry me away to a high mountain.
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 You have been my protection, like a strong tower against my enemies.
3
for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.
4 Let me live in your Holy Tent forever. Let me find safety in the shelter of your wings. Selah
4
Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
5 God, you have heard my promises. You have given me what belongs to those who fear you.
5
For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Give the king a long life; let him live many years.
6
Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations!
7 Let him rule in the presence of God forever. Protect him with your love and truth.
7
May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
8 Then I will praise your name forever, and every day I will keep my promises.
8
So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day.
