The LORD the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Deliverer in Death.A Mikhtam of David. | ||||
 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 A Mikhtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You. | 1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. | 1 [A [miktam] by David.] Protect me, O God, because I take refuge in you. | 1 Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge. | 1 {Michtam of David.} Preserve me, O �God: for I trust in thee. | 2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; I have no good besides You." | 2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; | 2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Without you, I have nothing good." | 2 My soul, you have said to Yahweh, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing." | 2 Thou my soul hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; -- | 3 As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight. | 3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. | 3 Those who lead holy lives on earth are the noble ones who fill me with joy. | 3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight. | 3 To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent thou hast said, In them is all my delight. | 4 The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips. | 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. | 4 Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows. I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood or use my lips to speak their names. | 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips. | 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips. | 5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. | 5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. | 5 The LORD is my inheritance and my cup. You are the one who determines my destiny. | 5 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure. | 5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me. | 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. | 6 Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me. Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful. | 6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance. | 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. | 7 I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. | 7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. | 7 I will praise the LORD, who advises me. My conscience warns me at night. | 7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons. | 7 I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me. | 8 I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. | 8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. | 8 I always keep the LORD in front of me. When he is by my side, I cannot be moved. | 8 I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. | 8 I have set Jehovah continually before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. | 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. | 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. | 9 That is why my heart is glad and my soul rejoices. My body rests securely | 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety. | 9 Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope. | 10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. | 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. | 10 because you do not abandon my soul to the grave or allow your holy one to decay. | 10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. | 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. | 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. | 11 You make the path of life known to me. Complete joy is in your presence. Pleasures are by your side forever. | 11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. A Prayer by David. | 11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore. |
