| 1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. How blessed is he who considers the helpless; The LORD will deliver him in a day of trouble. | 1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. | 1 [For the choir director; a psalm by David.] Blessed is the one who has concern for helpless people. The LORD will rescue him in times of trouble. | 1 Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil. | 1 {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil. | 2 The LORD will protect him and keep him alive, And he shall be called blessed upon the earth; And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies. | 2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. | 2 The LORD will protect him and keep him alive. He will be blessed in the land. Do not place him at the mercy of his enemies. | 2 Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies. | 2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies. | 3 The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health. | 3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. | 3 The LORD will support him on his sickbed. You will restore this person to health when he is ill. | 3 Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness. | 3 Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness. | 4 As for me, I said, "O LORD, be gracious to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You." | 4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. | 4 I said, "O LORD, have pity on me! Heal my soul because I have sinned against you." | 4 I said, "Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you." | 4 As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. | 5 My enemies speak evil against me, "When will he die, and his name perish?" | 5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? | 5 My enemies say terrible things about me: "When will he die, and when will his family name disappear?" | 5 My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?" | 5 Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish? | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; When he goes outside, he tells it. | 6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. | 6 When one of them comes to visit me, he speaks foolishly. His heart collects gossip. [Then] he leaves to tell others. | 6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it. | 6 And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth it. | 7 All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they devise my hurt, saying, | 7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. | 7 Everyone who hates me whispers about me. They think evil things about me and say, | 7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me. | 7 All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt. | 8 "A wicked thing is poured out upon him, That when he lies down, he will not rise up again." | 8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. | 8 "A devilish disease has attached itself to him. He will never leave his sickbed." | 8 "An evil disease," they say, "has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more." | 8 A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more. | 9 Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me. | 9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. | 9 Even my closest friend whom I trusted, the one who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me. | 9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me. | 9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. | 10 But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, That I may repay them. | 10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. | 10 Have pity on me, O LORD! Raise me up so that I can pay them back | 10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them. | 10 But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 By this I know that You are pleased with me, Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me. | 11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. | 11 and my enemy cannot shout in triumph over me. When you do this, I know that you are pleased with me. | 11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me. | 11 By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. | 12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And You set me in Your presence forever. | 12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. | 12 You defend my integrity, and you set me in your presence forever. | 12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. | 12 But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. | 13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen. | 13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. | 13 Thank the LORD God of Israel through all eternity!
