King James Version with Apocrypha
1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
1Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
2From 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.
3For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
6Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
7For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
9Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
