Verse KJV King James Version YLT Young's Literal Translation
Hear my cry , O God ; attend unto my prayer.
To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. -- By David. Hear, O God , my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
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.
From the end of the land unto Thee I call , In the feebleness of my heart , Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me .
For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows : thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows , Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.
Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations .
Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation .
He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth , which may preserve him.
He dwelleth to the age before God , Kindness and truth appoint -- they keep him.
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows .
So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
