A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked. | ||||
 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 Why do You stand afar off, O LORD? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble? | 1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? | 1 Why are you so distant, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? | 1 Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? | 1 Why, Jehovah, standest thou afar off? Why hidest thou thyself in times of distress? | 2 In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised. | 2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. | 2 The wicked person arrogantly pursues oppressed people. He will be caught in the schemes that he planned. | 2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise. | 2 The wicked, in his pride, doth hotly pursue the afflicted. They shall be taken in the devices that they have imagined. | 3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, And the greedy man curses and spurns the LORD. | 3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. | 3 The wicked person boasts about his selfish desires. He blesses robbers, but he curses the LORD. | 3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings. He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh. | 3 For the wicked boasteth of his soul's desire, and he blesseth the covetous; he contemneth Jehovah. | 4 The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him. All his thoughts are, "There is no God." | 4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. | 4 He turns up his nose [and says], "God doesn't care." His every thought [concludes], "There is no God." | 4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God. | 4 The wicked saith, in the haughtiness of his countenance, He doth not search out: all his thoughts are, There is no God! | 5 His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are on high, out of his sight; As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them. | 5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. | 5 He always seems to succeed. Your judgments are beyond his understanding. He spits at all his opponents. | 5 His ways are prosperous at all times. He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them. | 5 His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 He says to himself, "I will not be moved; Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity." | 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. | 6 He says to himself, "Nothing can shake me. I'll never face any trouble." | 6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble." | 6 He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation I shall be in no adversity. | 7 His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness. | 7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. | 7 His mouth is full of cursing, deception, and oppression. Trouble and wrongdoing are on the tip of his tongue. | 7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. | 7 His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. | 8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the hiding places he kills the innocent; His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate. | 8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. | 8 He waits in ambush in the villages. From his hiding places he kills innocent people. His eyes are on the lookout for victims. | 8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless. | 8 He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in the secret places doth he slay the innocent: his eyes watch for the wretched. | 9 He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair; He lurks to catch the afflicted; He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net. | 9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. | 9 He lies in his hiding place like a lion in his den. He hides there to catch oppressed people. He catches oppressed people when he draws them into his net. | 9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net. | 9 He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net. | 10 He crouches, he bows down, And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones. | 10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. | 10 [His] victims are crushed. They collapse, and they fall under [the weight of] his power. | 10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength. | 10 He croucheth, he boweth down, that the wretched may fall by his strong ones. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 He says to himself, "God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it." | 11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. | 11 He says to himself, "God has forgotten. He has hidden his face. He will never see it!" | 11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it." | 11 He saith in his heart, �God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see it. | 12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Your hand. Do not forget the afflicted. | 12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. | 12 Arise, O LORD! Lift your hand, O God. Do not forget oppressed people! | 12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don't forget the helpless. | 12 Arise, Jehovah; O �God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted. | 13 Why has the wicked spurned God? He has said to himself, "You will not require it." | 13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. | 13 Why does the wicked person despise God? Why does he say to himself, "God doesn't care"? | 13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?" | 13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. | 14 You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand. The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan. | 14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. | 14 You have seen [it]; yes, you have taken note of trouble and grief and placed them under your control. The victim entrusts himself to you. You alone have been the helper of orphans. | 14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless. | 14 Thou hast seen it, for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless. | 15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, Seek out his wickedness until You find none. | 15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. | 15 Break the arm of the wicked and evil person. Punish his wickedness until you find no more. | 15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none. | 15 Break thou the arm of the wicked, and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 The LORD is King forever and ever; Nations have perished from His land. | 16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. | 16 The LORD is king forever and ever. The nations have vanished from his land. | 16 Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land. | 16 Jehovah is King for ever and ever: the nations have perished out of his land. | 17 O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear | 17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: | 17 You have heard the desire of oppressed people, O LORD. You encourage them. You pay close attention to them | 17 Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear, | 17 Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear, | 18 To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror. | 18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. | 18 in order to provide justice for orphans and oppressed people so that no mere mortal will terrify them again. | 18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more. For the Chief Musician. By David. | 18 To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify no more. |
