| 1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. | 1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. | 1 I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. | 1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me. | 1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry, | 2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. | 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. | 2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. | 2 And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps. | 2 And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps. | 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the LORD. | 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. | 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah. | 3 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear : and they shall hope in the Lord. | 3 And He putteth in my mouth a new song, 'Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah. | 4 How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood. | 4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. | 4 Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. | 4 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies. | 4 O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies. | 5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count. | 5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. | 5 Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order unto thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered. | 5 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God : and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number. | 5 Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. | 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. | 6 Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required. | 6 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require : | 6 Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked. | 7 Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. | 7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, | 7 Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me: | 7 then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me | 7 Then said I, 'Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me, | 8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart." | 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. | 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart. | 8 that I should do thy will : O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart. | 8 To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law is within my heart. | 9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, O LORD, You know. | 9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. | 9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest. | 9 I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips : O Lord, thou knowest it. | 9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known. | 10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation. | 10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. | 10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly. | 10 I have not hid thy justice within my heart : I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council. | 10 Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 You, O LORD, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me. | 11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. | 11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. | 11 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me : thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me. | 11 Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me. | 12 For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head, And my heart has failed me. | 12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. | 12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me. | 12 For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head : and my heart hath forsaken me. | 12 For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me. | 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; Make haste, O LORD, to help me. | 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. | 13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, O Jehovah. | 13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me. | 13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste. | 14 Let those be ashamed and humiliated together Who seek my life to destroy it; Let those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in my hurt. | 14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. | 14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt. | 14 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me. | 14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil. | 15 Let those be appalled because of their shame Who say to me, "Aha, aha!" | 15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. | 15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha. | 15 Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me : 'T is well, 't is well. | 15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.' | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your salvation say continually, "The LORD be magnified!" | 16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. | 16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified. | 16 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee : and let such as love thy salvation say always : The Lord be magnified. | 16 All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified.' | 17 Since I am afflicted and needy, Let the Lord be mindful of me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God. | 17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. | 17 But I am poor and needy; Yet the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God. | 17 But I am a beggar and poor : the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector : O my God, be not slack. | 17 And I am poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer art Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not. |
