Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA
1 Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
1
Be gracious to me, O God, for people trample on me; all day long foes oppress me;
2 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
2
my enemies trample on me all day long, for many fight against me. O Most High,
3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.
3
when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
4
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can flesh do to me?
5 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices are against me for evil.
5
All day long they seek to injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They will dwell near and hide themselves; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
6
They stir up strife, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they hoped to have my life,
7 Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.
7
so repay them for their crime; in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
8 O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.
8
You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your record?
9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.
9
Then my enemies will retreat in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me.
10 In God, will I praise his word; in the Lord will I praise his saying.
10
In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
11
in God I trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me?
12 The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
12
My vows to you I must perform, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
13
For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of life.
