The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
King James Version KJV
1 For the leader. Set to "The Silent Dove in the Distance." By David; a mikhtam, when the P'lishtim captured him in Gat: Show me favor, God; for people are trampling me down -all day they fight and press on me.
1
Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Those who are lying in wait for me would trample on me all day. For those fighting against me are many. Most High,
2
Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
3
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 In God - I praise his word -in God I trust; I have no fear; what can human power do to me?
4
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 All day long they twist my words; their only thought is to harm me.
5
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather together and hide themselves, spying on my movements, hoping to kill me.
6
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Because of their crime, they cannot escape; in anger, God, strike down the peoples.
7
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 You have kept count of my wanderings; store my tears in your water-skin -aren't they already recorded in your book?
8
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call; this I know: that God is for me.
9
When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 In God - I praise his word -in ADONAI - I praise his word -
10
In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11 in God I trust; I have no fear; what can mere humans do to me?
11
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 God, I have made vows to you; I will fulfill them with thank offerings to you.
12
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 For you rescued me from death, you kept my feet from stumbling, so that I can walk in God's presence, in the light of life.
13
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
