 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will hear me. | 1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. | 1 [For the choir director; according to Jeduthun; a psalm by Asaph.] Loudly, I cried to God. Loudly, I cried to God so that he would open his ears to [hear] me. | 1 My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me. | 1 {To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.} My voice is unto God, and I will cry; my voice is unto God, and he will give ear unto me. | 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted. | 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. | 2 On the day I was in trouble, I went to the Lord for help. At night I stretched out my hands in prayer without growing tired. Yet, my soul refused to be comforted. | 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn't get tired. My soul refused to be comforted. | 2 In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted. | 3 When I remember God, then I am disturbed; When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. Selah. | 3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. | 3 I sigh as I remember God. I begin to lose hope as I think about him. [Selah] | 3 I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah. | 3 I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. | 4 You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. | 4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. | 4 (You keep my eyelids open.) I am so upset that I cannot speak. | 4 You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can't speak. | 4 Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak. | 5 I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago. | 5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. | 5 I have considered the days of old, the years long ago. | 5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. | 5 I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders: | 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. | 6 I remember my song in the night and reflect [on it]. My spirit searches [for an answer]: | 6 I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires: | 6 I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search. | 7 Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again? | 7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? | 7 Will the Lord reject [me] for all time? Will he ever accept me? | 7 "Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more? | 7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? | 8 Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever? | 8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? | 8 Has his mercy come to an end forever? Has his promise been canceled throughout every generation? | 8 Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations? | 8 Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath his word come to an end from generation to generation? | 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah. | 9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. | 9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he locked up his compassion because of his anger? [Selah] | 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?" Selah. | 9 Hath �God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. | 10 Then I said, "It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed." | 10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. | 10 Then I said, "It makes me feel sick that the power of the Most High is no longer the same." | 10 Then I thought, "I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High." | 10 Then said I, This is my weakness: the years of the right hand of the Most High | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

| 16 The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled. | 16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. | 16 The water saw you, O God. The water saw you and shook. Even the depths of the sea trembled. | 16 The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed. | 16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled: | 17 The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows flashed here and there. | 17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. | 17 The clouds poured out water. The sky thundered. Even your arrows flashed in every direction. | 17 The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around. | 17 The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad: | 18 The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. | 18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. | 18 The sound of your thunder rumbled in the sky. Streaks of lightning lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook. | 18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook. | 18 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked. | 19 Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, And Your footprints may not be known. | 19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. | 19 Your road went through the sea. Your path went through raging water, but your footprints could not be seen. | 19 Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known. | 19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known. | 20 You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron. | 20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. | 20 Like a shepherd, you led your people. You had Moses and Aaron take them by the hand. | 20 You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron. A contemplation by Asaph. | 20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
