The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
1 For the leader. A psalm of David: In you, ADONAI, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your justice, save me!
1
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness.
2 Turn your ear toward me, come quickly to my rescue, be for me a rock of strength, a fortress to keep me safe.
2
Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me.
3 Since you are my rock and fortress, lead me and guide me for your name's sake.
3
For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name's sake, Lead me and guide me.
4 Free me from the net they have hidden to catch me, because you are my strength.
4
Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit; you will redeem me, ADONAI, God of truth.
5
Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
6 I hate those who serve worthless idols; as for me, I trust in ADONAI.
6
I have hated those who regard useless idols; But I trust in the Lord.
7 I will rejoice and be glad in your grace, for you see my affliction, you know how distressed I am.
7
I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,
8 You did not hand me over to the enemy; you set my feet where I can move freely.
8
And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.
9 Show me favor, ADONAI, for I am in trouble. My eyes grow dim with anger, my soul and body as well.
9
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body!
10 For my life is worn out with sorrow and my years with sighing; my strength gives out under my guilt, and my bones are wasting away.
10
For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away.
11 I am scorned by all my adversaries, and even more by my neighbors; even to acquaintances I am an object of fear when they see me in the street, they turn away from me.
11
I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And am repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me.
12 Like a dead man, I have passed from their minds; I have become like a broken pot.
12
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.
13 All I hear is whispering, terror is all around me; they plot together against me, scheming to take my life.
13
For I hear the slander of many; Fear is on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life.
14 But I, I trust in you, ADONAI; I say, "You are my God."
14
But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, "You are my God."
15 My times are in your hand; rescue me from my enemies' power, from those who persecute me.
15
My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.
16 Make your face shine on your servant; in your grace, save me.
16
Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies' sake.
17 ADONAI, don't let me be put to shame, for I have called on you; let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silenced in Sh'ol.
17
Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave.
18 May lying lips be struck dumb, that speak insolently against the righteous with such pride and contempt.
18
Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 But oh, how great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you do for those who take refuge in you, before people's very eyes!
19
Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from human plots, you conceal them in your shelter, safe from contentious tongues.
20
You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be ADONAI! For he has shown me his amazing grace when I was in a city under siege.
21
Blessed be the Lord, For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!
22 As for me, in my alarm I said, "I have been cut off from your sight!"Nevertheless, you heard my pleas when I cried out to you.
22
For I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before Your eyes"; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You.
23 Love ADONAI, you faithful of his. ADONAI preserves the loyal, but the proud he repays in full.
23
Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person.
24 Be strong, and fill your hearts with courage, all of you who hope in ADONAI.
24
Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.
