New King James Version NKJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.
1
O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer!
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.
2
From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
3 For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
3
for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
4 I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
4
Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude
5 For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.
5
For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name.
6 You will prolong the king's life, His years as many generations.
6
Add many years to the life of the king! May his years span the generations!
7 He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him!
7
May he reign under God’s protection forever. May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him.
8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows.
8
Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day.
