Young's Literal Translation YLT
Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
1 To the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,
1
Be gracious to me, God, for man tramples me; he fights and oppresses me all day long.
2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,
2
My adversaries trample me all day, for many arrogantly fight against me.
3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
3
When I am afraid, I will trust in You.
4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.
4
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,
5
They twist my words all day long; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
6
They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.
7
Will they escape in spite of such sin? God, bring down the nations in wrath.
8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
8
You Yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your records?
9 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.
9
Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call. This I know: God is for me.
10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.
10
In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,
11
in God I trust; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.
12
I am obligated by vows to You, God; I will make my thank offerings to You.
13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!
13
For You delivered me from death, even my feet from stumbling, to walk before God in the light of life.
