Christian Standard Bible

International Standard Version

1God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer.

2I call to you from the ends of the earth when my heart is without strength. Lead me to a rock that is high above me,

2From the end of the earth I will cry to you whenever my heart is overwhelmed. Place me on the rock that's too high for me.

3for you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower in the face of the enemy.

3For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy.

4I will dwell in your tent forever and take refuge under the shelter of your wings. Selah

4Let me make my home in your tent forever; let me hide under the shelter of your wings. Interlude

5God, you have heard my vows; you have given a heritage to those who fear your name.

5For you, God, have heard my promises; you have assigned to me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6Add days to the king's life; may his years span many generations.

6Add day after day to the king's life; may his years continue for many generations.

7May he sit enthroned before God forever. Appoint faithful love and truth to guard him.

7May he be enthroned before God forever; Appoint your gracious love and truth to guard him.

8Then I will continually sing of your name, fulfilling my vows day by day.

8So I will sing songs to your name forever; I will fulfill my promises day by day.
