Listen to my cry for help, O God. Pay attention 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.

From the ends of the earth, I call to you when I begin to lose heart. Lead me to the rock that is high above me.

You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
4 I will abide in Thy tabernacle for ever; I will trust in the refuge of Thy wings. Selah

I would like to be a guest in your tent forever and to take refuge under the protection of your wings. Selah

O God, you have heard my vows. You have given me the inheritance that belongs to those who fear your name.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life, and his years shall be as many generations.

Add days upon days to the life of the king. May his years endure throughout every generation.

May he sit enthroned in the presence of God forever. May mercy and truth protect him.
