| 1 | Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer, | Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; | For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. | |
| 2 | To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me; | 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, | From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. | |
| 3 | for thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy. | for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. | For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. | |
| 4 | In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings. | Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah | I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. | |
| 5 | For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name. | For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. | For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. | |
| 6 | Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation. | Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! | Increase the days of the king’s life, his years for many generations. | |
| 7 | He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search ? | May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him! | May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him. | |
| 8 | So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day. | So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day. | Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day. | |
