 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 For the choir director; according to Jonath elem rehokim. A Mikhtam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me. | 1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. | 1 Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me. | 1 Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar ) when the Philistines held him in Geth. Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me. | 1 To the Overseer. -- 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me, | 2 My foes have trampled upon me all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me. | 2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. | 2 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me. | 2 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me. | 2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many are fighting against me, O most High, | 3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. | 3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. | 3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee. | 3 From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee. | 3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee. | 4 In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me? | 4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. | 4 In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me? | 4 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me. | 4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me. | 5 All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. | 5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. | 5 All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil. | 5 All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil. | 5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts are for evil, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life. | 6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. | 6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul. | 6 They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul, | 6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul. | 7 Because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O God! | 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. | 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God. | 7 for nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God, | 7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God. | 8 You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book? | 8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? | 8 Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book? | 8 I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise. | 8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book? | 9 Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me. | 9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. | 9 Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me. | 9 Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God. | 9 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God is for me. | 10 In God, whose word I praise, In the LORD, whose word I praise, | 10 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. | 10 In God (I will praise his word), In Jehovah (I will praise his word), | 10 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me. | 10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? | 11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. | 11 In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me? | 11 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me. | 11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me, | 12 Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You. | 12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. | 12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank-offerings unto thee. | 12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee: | 12 On me, O God, are Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee. | 13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living. | 13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? | 13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: Hast thou not delivered my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living? | 13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living. | 13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living! |
