 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. | 1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. | 1 [For the choir director; a [maskil] by Korah's descendants.] As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God. | 1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God. | 1 {To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. | 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? | 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? | 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When may I come to see God's face? | 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? | 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living �God: when shall I come and appear before God? | 3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" | 3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? | 3 My tears are my food day and night. People ask me all day long, "Where is your God?" | 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?" | 3 My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God? | 4 These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God, With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival. | 4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. | 4 I will remember these things as I pour out my soul: how I used to walk with the crowd and lead it in a procession to God's house. [I sang] songs of joy and thanksgiving while crowds of people celebrated a festival. | 4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day. | 4 These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude. | 5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence. | 5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. | 5 Why are you discouraged, my soul? Why are you so restless? Put your hope in God, because I will still praise him. He is my savior and my God. | 5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence. | 5 Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, for the health of his countenance. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 O my God, my soul is in despair within me; Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. | 6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. | 6 My soul is discouraged. That is why I will remember you in the land of Jordan, on the peaks of Hermon, on Mount Mizar. | 6 My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar. | 6 My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar. | 7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. | 7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. | 7 One deep sea calls to another at the roar of your waterspouts. All the whitecaps on your waves have swept over me. | 7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me. | 7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me. | 8 The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life. | 8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. | 8 The LORD commands his mercy during the day, and at night his song is with me- a prayer to the God of my life. | 8 Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life. | 8 In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the �God of my life. | 9 I will say to God my rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?" | 9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? | 9 I will ask God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk around in mourning while the enemy oppresses me?" | 9 I will ask God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?" | 9 I will say unto �God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? | 10 As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" | 10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? | 10 With a shattering blow to my bones, my enemies taunt me. They ask me all day long, "Where is your God?" | 10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?" | 10 As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God? | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
