New Living Translation | International Standard Version |
1O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! | 1God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer. |
2From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, | 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 are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. | 3For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength before the enemy. |
4Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude | 4Let me make my home in your tent forever; let me hide under the shelter of your wings. Interlude |
5For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for 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 many years to the life of the king! May his years span the generations! | 6Add day after day to the king's life; may his years continue for many generations. |
7May he reign under God’s protection forever. May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him. | 7May he be enthroned before God forever; Appoint your gracious love and truth to guard him. |
8Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day. | 8So I will sing songs to your name forever; I will fulfill my promises day by day. |
