2O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.
2Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
3From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock, thou didst guide me:
3From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
4because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.
4For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
5I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause.
5I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
6For thou, O God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.
6For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
7Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; [thou shalt lengthen] his years to all generations.
7Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
8He shall endure for ever before God : which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?
8He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
9So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
9So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
