| 1 For the choir director; for flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning. | 1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. | 1 [For the choir director; for flutes; a psalm by David.] Open your ears to my words, O LORD. Consider my innermost thoughts. | 1 Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation. | 1 {To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.} Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation. | 2 Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray. | 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. | 2 Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, because I pray only to you. | 2 Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray. | 2 Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray. | 3 In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. | 3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. | 3 In the morning, O LORD, hear my voice. In the morning I lay my needs in front of you, and I wait. | 3 Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly. | 3 Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up. | 4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You. | 4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. | 4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness. Evil will never be your guest. | 4 For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you. | 4 For thou art not a �God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee. | 5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. | 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. | 5 Those who brag cannot stand in your sight. You hate all troublemakers. | 5 The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity. | 5 Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. | 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. | 6 You destroy those who tell lies. The LORD is disgusted with bloodthirsty and deceitful people. | 6 You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. | 6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit. | 7 But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You. | 7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. | 7 But I will enter your house because of your great mercy. Out of reverence for you, I will bow toward your holy temple. | 7 But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you. | 7 But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear. | 8 O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me. | 8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. | 8 O LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of those who spy on me. Make your way in front of me smooth. | 8 Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face. | 8 Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me. | 9 There is nothing reliable in what they say; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue. | 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. | 9 Nothing in their mouths is truthful. Destruction comes from their hearts. Their throats are open graves. They flatter with their tongues. | 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue. | 9 For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. | 10 Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You. | 10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. | 10 Condemn them, O God. Let their own schemes be their downfall. Throw them out for their many crimes because they have rebelled against you. | 10 Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you. | 10 Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You. | 11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. | 11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them sing with joy forever. Protect them, and let those who love your name triumph in you. | 11 But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you. | 11 And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee. | 12 For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield. | 12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. | 12 You bless righteous people, O LORD. Like a large shield, you surround them with your favor. | 12 For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David. | 12 For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous man; with favour wilt thou surround him as with a shield. |
