Bible in Basic English
1Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.
2From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.
3For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.
4I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah.)
5For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.
6You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.
7May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.
8So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: sobre Neginoth: Salmo de David. OYE, oh Dios, mi clamor; á mi oración atiende.
2Desde el cabo de la tierra clamaré á ti, cuando mi corazón desmayare: á la peña más alta que yo me conduzcas.
3Porque tú has sido mi refugio, y torre de fortaleza delante del enemigo.
4Yo habitaré en tu tabernáculo para siempre: estaré seguro bajo la cubierta de tus alas.
5Porque tú, oh Dios, has oído mis votos, has dado heredad á los que temen tu nombre.
6Días sobre días añadirás al rey: sus años serán como generación y generación.
7Estará para siempre delante de Dios: misericordia y verdad prepara que lo conserven.
8Así cantaré tu nombre para siempre, pagando mis votos cada día.
King James Version
1Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
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 thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
