 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed. | 1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. | 1 I have taken refuge in you, O LORD. Never let me be put to shame. | 1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed. | 1 In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed. | 2 In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline Your ear to me and save me. | 2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. | 2 Rescue me and free me because of your righteousness. Turn your ear toward me, and save me. | 2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me. | 2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me. | 3 Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress. | 3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. | 3 Be a rock on which I may live, a place where I may always go. You gave the order to save me! Indeed, you are my rock and my fortress. | 3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. | 3 Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. | 4 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man, | 4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. | 4 My God, free me from the hands of a wicked person, from the grasp of one who is cruel and unjust. | 4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. | 4 My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. | 5 For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth. | 5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. | 5 You are my hope, O Almighty LORD. You have been my confidence ever since I was young. | 5 For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; my confidence from my youth. | 5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You. | 6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. | 6 I depended on you before I was born. You took me from my mother's womb. My songs of praise constantly speak about you. | 6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you. | 6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee. | 7 I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge. | 7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. | 7 I have become an example to many people, but you are my strong refuge. | 7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge. | 7 I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. | 8 My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long. | 8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. | 8 My mouth is filled with your praise, with your glory all day long. | 8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day. | 8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day. | 9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. | 9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. | 9 Do not reject me when I am old or abandon me when I lose my strength. | 9 Don't reject me in my old age. Don't forsake me when my strength fails. | 9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. | 10 For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together, | 10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, | 10 My enemies talk about me. They watch me as they plot to take my life. | 10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together, | 10 For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together, | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver." | 11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. | 11 They say, "God has abandoned him. Pursue him and grab him because there is no one to rescue him." | 11 saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him." | 11 Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver. | 12 O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help! | 12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. | 12 O God, do not be so distant from me. O my God, come quickly to help me. | 12 God, don't be far from me. My God, hurry to help me. | 12 O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help. | 13 Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me. | 13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. | 13 Let those who accuse me come to a shameful end. Let those who want my downfall be covered with disgrace and humiliation. | 13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me. | 13 Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. | 14 But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. | 14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. | 14 But I will always have hope. I will praise you more and more. | 14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise. | 14 But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more. | 15 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them. | 15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. | 15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, about your salvation all day long. Even then, it is more than I can understand. | 15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don't know its full measure. | 15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, and thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers thereof. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. | 16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. | 16 I will come with the mighty deeds of the Almighty LORD. I will praise your righteousness, yours alone. | 16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. | 16 I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone. | 17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. | 17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. | 17 O God, you have taught me ever since I was young, and I still talk about the miracles you have done. | 17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. | 17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works: | 18 And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come. | 18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. | 18 Even when I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me live to tell the people of this age what your strength has accomplished, to tell about your power to all who will come. | 18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don't forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come. | 18 Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto this generation, thy might to every one that is to come. | 19 For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? | 19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! | 19 Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God. You have done great things. O God, who is like you? | 19 Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you? | 19 And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee? | 20 You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth. | 20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. | 20 You have made me endure many terrible troubles. You restore me to life again. You bring me back from the depths of the earth. | 20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. | 20 Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 21 May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me. | 21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. | 21 You comfort me and make me greater than ever. | 21 Increase my honor, and comfort me again. | 21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. | 22 I will also praise You with a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. | 22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. | 22 Because of your faithfulness, O my God, even I will give thanks to you as I play on a lyre. I will make music with a harp to praise you, O Holy One of Israel. | 22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel. | 22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel. | 23 My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed. | 23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. | 23 My lips will sing with joy when I make music to praise you. My soul, which you have rescued, also will sing joyfully. | 23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! | 23 My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. | 24 My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt. | 24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt. | 24 My tongue will tell about your righteousness all day long, because those who wanted my downfall have been disgraced and put to shame. | 24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me. By Solomon. | 24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt. |
