Pay attention to my prayer. | 1 Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer. | 1 {To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.} Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer. | 2 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. | 2 From 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. | 2 From the ends of the earth, I call to you when I begin to lose heart. Lead me to the rock that is high above me. | 2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. | 2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my eart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me. | 3 For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy. | 3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. | 3 You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy. | 3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy. | 3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy. | 4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah. | 4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. | 4 I would like to be a guest in your tent forever and to take refuge under the protection of your wings. [Selah] | 4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah. | 4 I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah. | 5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name. | 5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. | 5 O God, you have heard my vows. You have given me the inheritance that belongs to those who fear your name. | 5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. | 5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given me the inheritance of those that fear thy name. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

May his years endure throughout every generation. | 6 You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for generations. | 6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations. | 7 He will abide before God forever; Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him. | 7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. | 7 May he sit enthroned in the presence of God forever.
