| 1 | O God, listen to my cry! Hear 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 | From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, | 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 you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. | 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 | Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude | 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 you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your 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 | Add many years to the life of the king! May his years span the 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 reign under God’s protection forever. May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over 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 | Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each 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. | |
