 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. | 1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. | 1 [For the choir director; according to Jeduthun; a psalm by David.] My soul waits calmly for God alone. My salvation comes from him. | 1 My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him. | 1 {To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation. | 2 He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. | 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. | 2 He alone is my rock and my savior-my stronghold. I cannot be severely shaken. | 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress-- I will never be greatly shaken. | 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved. | 3 How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? | 3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. | 3 How long will all of you attack a person? How long will you try to murder him, as though he were a leaning wall or a sagging fence? | 3 How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? | 3 How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence? | 4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah. | 4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. | 4 They plan to force him out of his high position. They are happy to lie. They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse. [Selah] | 4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. | 4 They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah. | 5 My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him. | 5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. | 5 Wait calmly for God alone, my soul, because my hope comes from him. | 5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him. | 5 Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. | 6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. | 6 He alone is my rock and my savior-my stronghold. I cannot be shaken. | 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken. | 6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved. | 7 On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. | 7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. | 7 My salvation and my glory depend on God. God is the rock of my strength, my refuge. | 7 With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. | 7 With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. | 8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. | 8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. | 8 Trust him at all times, you people. Pour out your hearts in his presence. God is our refuge. [Selah] | 8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah. | 8 Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah. | 9 Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath. | 9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. | 9 Common people are only a whisper in the wind. Important people are only a delusion. When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing. They are less than a whisper in the wind. | 9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath. | 9 Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity. | 10 Do not trust in oppression And do not vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them. | 10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. | 10 Do not count on extortion [to make you rich]. Do not hope to gain anything through robbery. When riches increase, do not depend on them. | 10 Don't trust in oppression. Don't become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don't set your heart on them. | 10 Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God; | 11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. | 11 God has spoken once. I have heard it [said] twice: "Power belongs to God. | 11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God. | 11 Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength belongeth unto God. | 12 And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work. | 12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. | 12 Mercy belongs to you, O Lord. You reward a person based on what he has done." | 12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work. A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. | 12 And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work. |
