 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me, | 1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: | 1 O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me, | 1 The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. [2 Kings 16.] O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me. | 1 'The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me. | 2 Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver. | 2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. | 2 Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. | 2 Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save. | 2 Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer. | 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands, | 3 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; | 3 O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands; | 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands: | 3 O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands, | 4 If I have rewarded evil to my friend, Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary, | 4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) | 4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;) | 4 If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies. | 4 If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause, | 5 Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life down to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah. | 5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. | 5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah | 5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust. | 5 An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries, And arouse Yourself for me; You have appointed judgment. | 6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. | 6 Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment. | 6 Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded: | 6 Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded: | 7 Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You, And over them return on high. | 7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. | 7 And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high. | 7 and a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high. | 7 And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back, | 8 The LORD judges the peoples; Vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me. | 8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. | 8 Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me. | 8 The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me. | 8 Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me, | 9 O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds. | 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. | 9 O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts. | 9 The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God. | 9 Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God. | 10 My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart. | 10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. | 10 My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart. | 10 Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart. | 10 My shield is on God, Saviour of the upright in heart! | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 God is a righteous judge, And a God who has indignation every day. | 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. | 11 God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day. | 11 God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day? | 11 God is a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times. | 12 If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready. | 12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. | 12 If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready. | 12 Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready. | 12 If one turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it, | 13 He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts. | 13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. | 13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery'shafts . | 13 And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn. | 13 Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh. | 14 Behold, he travails with wickedness, And he conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood. | 14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. | 14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. | 14 Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity. | 14 Lo, he travaileth with iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood. | 15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made. | 15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. | 15 He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made. | 15 He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made. | 15 A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 His mischief will return upon his own head, And his violence will descend upon his own pate. | 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. | 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate. | 16 His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown. | 16 Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down. | 17 I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. | 17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. | 17 I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High. | 17 I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high. | 17 I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High! |
