| 2 | From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; Lead me to a rock that is too high for 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 a refuge for me, A tower of strength in 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 | I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. Selah | 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, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those 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 | Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations! | 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 | May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him. | 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 praise unto Thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows. | 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. | |
