| 1 For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Is not David hiding himself among us?" Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your power. | 1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. | 1 Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might. | 1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength. | 1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me. | 2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. | 2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. | 2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. | 2 O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth. | 2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth, | 3 For strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my life; They have not set God before them. Selah. | 3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. | 3 For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah | 3 For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes. | 3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah. | 4 Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul. | 4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. | 4 Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul. | 4 For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul. | 4 Lo, God is a helper to me, The Lord is with those supporting my soul, | 5 He will recompense the evil to my foes; Destroy them in Your faithfulness. | 5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth. | 5 He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth. | 5 Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth. | 5 Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Willingly I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks to Your name, O LORD, for it is good. | 6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good. | 6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good. | 6 I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good: | 6 With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good, | 7 For He has delivered me from all trouble, And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies. | 7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. | 7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies. | 7 For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies. | 7 For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked! |
