Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA
1 O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me.
1
In you, O Lord, I seek refuge; do not let me ever be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me.
2 Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
2
Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily. Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me.
3 For thou art my strength and my refuge; and thou shalt guide me for thy name’s sake, and maintain me.
3
You are indeed my rock and my fortress; for your name's sake lead me and guide me,
4 Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for thou, O Lord, art my defender.
4
take me out of the net that is hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
5 Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
5
Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
6 Thou has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
6
You hate those who pay regard to worthless idols, but I trust in the Lord.
7 I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: for thou hast looked upon mine affliction; thou hast saved my soul from distresses.
7
I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have taken heed of my adversities,
8 And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a wide place.
8
and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place.
9 Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
9
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye wastes away from grief, my soul and body also.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
10
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.
11 I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
11
I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbors, an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.
12 I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
12
I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.
13 For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.
13
For I hear the whispering of many— terror all around!— as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.
14 But I hoped in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
14
But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, "You are my God."
15 My lots are in thy hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
15
My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
16 and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy mercy.
16
Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.
17 O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades.
17
Do not let me be put to shame, O Lord, for I call on you; let the wicked be put to shame; let them go dumbfounded to Sheol.
18 Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.
18
Let the lying lips be stilled that speak insolently against the righteous with pride and contempt.
19 How abundant is the multitude of thy goodness, O Lord, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee! thou hast wrought it out for them that hope on thee, in the presence of the sons of men.
19
O how abundant is your goodness that you have laid up for those who fear you, and accomplished for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of everyone!
20 Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man: thou wilt screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
20
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from human plots; you hold them safe under your shelter from contentious tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.
21
Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was beset as a city under siege.
22 But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of thine eyes: therefore thou didst hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to thee.
22
I had said in my alarm, "I am driven far from your sight." But you heard my supplications when I cried out to you for help.
23 Love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders a reward to them that deal very proudly.
23
Love the Lord, all you his saints. The Lord preserves the faithful, but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.
24 Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
24
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord.
