 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness! | 1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. | 1 [A psalm by David.] O LORD, listen to my prayer. Open your ears to hear my urgent requests. Answer me because you are faithful and righteous. | 1 Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me. | 1 {A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness. | 2 And do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no man living is righteous. | 2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. | 2 Do not take me to court for judgment, because there is no one alive who is righteous in your presence. | 2 Don't enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous. | 2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified. | 3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead. | 3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. | 3 The enemy has pursued me. He has ground my life into the dirt. He has made me live in dark places like those who have died long ago. | 3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead. | 3 For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead. | 4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me. | 4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. | 4 That is why I begin to lose hope and my heart is in a state of shock. | 4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate. | 4 And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. | 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands. | 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. | 5 I remember the days long ago. I reflect on all that you have done. I carefully consider what your hands have made. | 5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands. | 5 I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 I stretch out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah. | 6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. | 6 I stretch out my hands to you in prayer. Like parched land, my soul thirsts for you. [Selah] | 6 I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah. | 6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, thirsteth after thee. Selah. | 7 Answer me quickly, O LORD, my spirit fails; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will become like those who go down to the pit. | 7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. | 7 Answer me quickly, O LORD. My spirit is worn out. Do not hide your face from me, or I will be like those who go into the pit. | 7 Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, so that I don't become like those who go down into the pit. | 7 Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit. | 8 Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul. | 8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. | 8 Let me hear about your mercy in the morning, because I trust you. Let me know the way that I should go, because I long for you. | 8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you. | 8 Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul. | 9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; I take refuge in You. | 9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. | 9 Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD. I come to you for protection. | 9 Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me. | 9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge. | 10 Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. | 10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. | 10 Teach me to do your will, because you are my God. May your good Spirit lead me on level ground. | 10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness. | 10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. | 11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. | 11 O LORD, keep me alive for the sake of your name. Because you are righteous, lead me out of trouble. | 11 Revive me, Yahweh, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble. | 11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble; | 12 And in Your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies And destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am Your servant. | 12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. | 12 In keeping with your mercy, wipe out my enemies and destroy all who torment me, because I am your servant. | 12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant. By David. | 12 And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant. |
