King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
23
Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
24
Vindicate me in your righteousness, LORD my God; do not let them gloat over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
25
Do not let them think, “Aha, just what we wanted!” or say, “We have swallowed him up.”
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
26
May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
27
May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “The LORD be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant.”
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
28
My tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praises all day long.
