| 1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, Do not be silent! | 1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; | 1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; | 1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. | 1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent, | 2 For they have opened the wicked and deceitful mouth against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. | 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. | 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue. | 2 O God, be not thou silent in thy praise: for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me. | 2 For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred! | 3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without cause. | 3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. | 3 They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause. | 3 They have spoken against with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause. | 3 They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause. | 4 In return for my love they act as my accusers; But I am in prayer. | 4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. | 4 For my love they are my adversaries: But I give myself unto prayer. | 4 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer. | 4 For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer! | 5 Thus they have repaid me evil for good And hatred for my love. | 5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. | 5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. | 5 And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love. | 5 And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Appoint a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. | 6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. | 6 Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand. | 6 Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand. | 6 Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand. | 7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty, And let his prayer become sin. | 7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. | 7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin. | 7 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin. | 7 In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin. | 8 Let his days be few; Let another take his office. | 8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. | 8 Let his days be few; And let another take his office. | 8 May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take. | 8 His days are few, his oversight another taketh, | 9 Let his children be fatherless And his wife a widow. | 9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. | 9 Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. | 9 May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. | 9 His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow. | 10 Let his children wander about and beg; And let them seek sustenance far from their ruined homes. | 10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. | 10 Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek their bread out of their desolate places. | 10 Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings. | 10 And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder the product of his labor. | 11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. | 11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let strangers make spoil of his labor. | 11 May the userer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours. | 11 An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour. | 12 Let there be none to extend lovingkindness to him, Nor any to be gracious to his fatherless children. | 12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. | 12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children. | 12 May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring. | 12 He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans. | 13 Let his posterity be cut off; In a following generation let their name be blotted out. | 13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. | 13 Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out. | 13 May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out. | 13 His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out. | 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out. | 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. | 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. | 14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. | 14 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out. | 15 Let them be before the LORD continually, That He may cut off their memory from the earth; | 15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. | 15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth; | 15 May they be before the lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth: | 15 They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness, But persecuted the afflicted and needy man, And the despondent in heart, to put them to death. | 16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. | 16 Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay them . | 16 because he remembered not to show mercy, | 16 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay, | 17 He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him. | 17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. | 17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him. | 17 But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death. | 17 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him. | 18 But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it entered into his body like water And like oil into his bones. | 18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. | 18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones. | 18 And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones. | 18 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones. | 19 Let it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself, And for a belt with which he constantly girds himself. | 19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. | 19 Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually. | 19 May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually. | 19 It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on. | 20 Let this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, And of those who speak evil against my soul. | 20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. | 20 This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul. | 20 This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul. | 20 This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me; | 21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. | 21 But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name's sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me; | 21 But thou, O Lord, do with for thy names sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me. | 21 And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me. | 22 For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. | 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. | 22 For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. | 22 for I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me. | 22 For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst. | 23 I am passing like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like the locust. | 23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. | 23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. | 23 I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts. | 23 As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust. | 24 My knees are weak from fasting, And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness. | 24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. | 24 My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness. | 24 My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil. | 24 My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness. | 25 I also have become a reproach to them; When they see me, they wag their head. | 25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. | 25 I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head. | 25 And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads, | 25 And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 26 Help me, O LORD my God; Save me according to Your lovingkindness. | 26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: | 26 Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness: | 26 Help me, O Lord my God; save me according to thy mercy. | 26 Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness. | 27 And let them know that this is Your hand; You, LORD, have done it. | 27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. | 27 That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, Jehovah, hast done it. | 27 And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it. | 27 And they know that this is Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it. | 28 Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, they shall be ashamed, But Your servant shall be glad. | 28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. | 28 Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice. | 28 They will curse and thou will bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice. | 28 They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice. | 29 Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. | 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. | 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. | 29 Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with the their confusion as with a double cloak. | 29 Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame. | 30 With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the LORD; And in the midst of many I will praise Him. | 30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. | 30 I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude. | 30 I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him. | 30 I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 31 For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul. | 31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. | 31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul. | 31 Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors | 31 For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul. |
