New Living Translation NLT
English Standard Version ESV
1 O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer!
1
Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer;
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,
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 you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
3
for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.
4 Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude
4
Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
5 For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for 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 many years to the life of the king! May his years span the generations!
6
Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations!
7 May he reign under God’s protection forever. May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him.
7
May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day.
8
So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day.
