2 He said, "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;2 and he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;2 And he said: The Lord is my rock, and my strength, and my saviour. 2 and he saith: 'Jehovah is my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
3 My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence.3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.3 God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My saviour, thou savest me from violence.3 God is my strong one, in him will I trust: my shield, and the horn of my salvation: he lifteth me up, and is my refuge: my saviour, thou wilt deliver me from iniquity. 3 My God is my rock -- I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge!

5 "For the waves of death encompassed me; The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me;5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;5 For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:5 For the pangs of death have sur rounded me: the floods of Belial have made me afraid. 5 When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,

6 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;6 The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.6 The cords of hell compassed me: the snares of death prevented me. 6 The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death.
7 "In my distress I called upon the LORD, Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears.7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.7 In my distress I called upon Jehovah; Yea, I called unto my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry came into his ears.7 In my distress I will call upon the Lord, and I will cry to my God: and he will hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry shall come to his ears. 7 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry is in His ears,

45 "Foreigners pretend obedience to me; As soon as they hear, they obey me.45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.45 The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.45 The sons of the stranger will resist me, at the hearing of the ear they will obey me. 45 Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me.
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
46 "Foreigners lose heart, And come trembling out of their fortresses.46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.46 The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.46 The strangers are melted away, and shall be straitened in their distresses. 46 Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
47 "The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.47 Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,47 The Lord liveth, and my God is blessed: and the strong God of my salvation shall be exalted: 47 Jehovah liveth, and blessed is my Rock, And exalted is my God -- The Rock of my salvation.
48 The God who executes vengeance for me, And brings down peoples under me,48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me.48 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And that bringeth down peoples under me,48 God who giveth me revenge, and bringest down people under me, 48 God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,
49 Who also brings me out from my enemies; You even lift me above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from the violent man.49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.49 Who bringest me forth from my enemies, and liftest me up from them that resist me: from the wicked man thou shalt deliver me. 49 And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.
50 "Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the nations, And I will sing praises to Your name.50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.50 Therefore will I give thanks to thee. O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name. 50 Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.
