| 2 | From the end of the earth I will call to thee, in the fainting of my heart: thou wilt lead me into the rock it will be lifted up above 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 wert a refuge to me, a tower of strength from 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 forever: I will put my trust in the covering of thy wings. Silence. | 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, heartiest to my vows: thou gavest the inheritance to those fearing 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 as 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 shall dwell before God forever: mercy and truth a portion shall guard 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 | Thus will I play on the harp to thy name forever, to repay me my vows day by 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. | |
