Young's Literal Translation YLT
Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
1 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.
1
Lord, hear a just cause; pay attention to my cry; listen to my prayer- from lips free of deceit.
2 From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.
2
Let my vindication come from You, [for] You see what is right.
3 Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.
3
You have tested my heart; You have visited by night; You have tried me and found nothing [evil]; I have determined that my mouth will not sin.
4 As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;
4
Concerning what people do: by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5 To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.
5
My steps are on Your paths; my feet have not slipped.
6 I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.
6
I call on You, God, because You will answer me; listen closely to me; hear what I say.
7 Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
7
Display the wonders of Your faithful love, Savior of all who seek refuge from those who rebel against Your right hand.
8 Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.
8
Guard me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings
9 From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.
9
from the wicked who treat me violently, my deadly enemies who surround me.
10 Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:
10
They have become hardened; their mouths speak arrogantly.
11 `Our steps now have compassed [him];' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.
11
They advance against me; now they surround me. They are determined to throw [me] to the ground.
12 His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.
12
They are like a lion eager to tear, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
13 Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,
13
Rise up, Lord! Confront him; bring him down. With Your sword, save me from the wicked.
14 From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, And [with] Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.
14
With Your hand, Lord, [save me] from men, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life: You fill their bellies with what You have in store, their sons are satisfied, and they leave their surplus to their children.
15 I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Thy form!
15
But I will see Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied with Your presence.
