| 1 A Prayer of David. Hear a just cause, O LORD, give heed to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips. | 1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. | 1 Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. | 1 The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips. | 1 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear to my prayer, without lips of deceit. | 2 Let my judgment come forth from Your presence; Let Your eyes look with equity. | 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. | 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; Let thine eyes look upon equity. | 2 Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable. | 2 From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly. | 3 You have tried my heart; You have visited me by night; You have tested me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. | 3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. | 3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. | 3 Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me. | 3 Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth. | 4 As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent. | 4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. | 4 As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent. | 4 That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways. | 4 As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer; | 5 My steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped. | 5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. | 5 My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped. | 5 Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved. | 5 To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. | 6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. | 6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. | 6 I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words. | 6 I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech. | 7 Wondrously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up against them. | 7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. | 7 Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in thee From those that rise up against them . | 7 Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee. | 7 Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders. | 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings | 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, | 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings, | 8 From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings. | 8 Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me. | 9 From the wicked who despoil me, My deadly enemies who surround me. | 9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. | 9 From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about. | 9 From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul: | 9 From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me. | 10 They have closed their unfeeling heart, With their mouth they speak proudly. | 10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. | 10 They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly. | 10 they have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly. | 10 Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride: | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground. | 11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; | 11 They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth. | 11 They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth. | 11 Our steps now have compassed him;' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land. | 12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion lurking in hiding places. | 12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. | 12 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. | 12 They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places. | 12 His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places. | 13 Arise, O LORD, confront him, bring him low; Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword, | 13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: | 13 Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword; | 13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword | 13 Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword, | 14 From men with Your hand, O LORD, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their abundance to their babes. | 14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. | 14 From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes. | 14 from the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance. | 14 From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion is in life, And with Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied with sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings. | 15 As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake. | 15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. | 15 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with beholding thy form. | 15 But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear. | 15 I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, with Thy form! |
