 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? | 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? | 1 Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? | 1 The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? | 1 By David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid? | 2 When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. | 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. | 2 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. | 2 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen. | 2 When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen. | 3 Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident. | 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. | 3 Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident. | 3 If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident. | 3 Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I am confident. | 4 One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple. | 4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. | 4 One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple. | 4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple. | 4 One thing I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple. | 5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. | 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. | 5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock. | 5 For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle. | 5 For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. | 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. | 6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah. | 6 He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord. | 6 And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah. | 7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me. | 7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. | 7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. | 7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me. | 7 Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and answer me. | 8 When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You, "Your face, O LORD, I shall seek." | 8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. | 8 When thou saidst , Seek ye my face; My heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek. | 8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek. | 8 To Thee said my heart 'They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.' | 9 Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not abandon me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation! | 9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. | 9 Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. | 9 Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour. | 9 Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. | 10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the LORD will take me up. | 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. | 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up. | 10 For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up. | 10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a level path Because of my foes. | 11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. | 11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies. | 11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies. | 11 Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders. | 12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence. | 12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. | 12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty. | 12 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself. | 12 Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me. | 13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. | 13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. | 13 I had fainted , unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living. | 13 I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. | 13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living! | 14 Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. | 14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. | 14 Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah. | 14 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord. | 14 Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah! |
