The Darby Translation DBY
1 In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.
1
{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.
2
Incline thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence to save me.
3 Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
3
For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.
4 Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge.
4
Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.
5 Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, LORD, my faithful God.
5
Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, [thou] God of truth.
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the LORD.
6
I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.
7
I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,
8 You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.
8
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.
9 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief.
9
Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.
10 My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction,and my bones grow weak.
10
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.
11 Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors and an object of dread to my closest friends— those who see me on the street flee from me.
11
More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
12 I am forgotten as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery.
12
I am forgotten in [their] heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
13 For I hear many whispering, “Terror on every side!” They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
13
For I have heard the slander of many -- terror on every side -- when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
14 But I trust in you, LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
14
But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.
15 My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.
15
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
16 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.
16
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
17 Let me not be put to shame, LORD, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead.
17
Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.
18 Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.
18
Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
19 How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you.
19
[Oh] how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.
20
Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Praise be to the LORD, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege.
21
Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.
22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from your sight!” Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help.
22
As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 Love the LORD, all his faithful people! The LORD preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full.
23
Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.
24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
24
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.
