| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 20 Our king, the LORD's anointed, the very life of our nation, was caught in their snares. We had foolishly boasted that under his protection we could hold our own against any nation on earth! | 20 The LORD's anointed, our very life breath, was caught in their traps. We thought that under his shadow we would live among the nations. |
