Young's Literal Translation YLT
Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
1 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
1
Lord, I seek refuge in You; never let me be disgraced.
2 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
2
In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me.
3 Be to me for a rock -- a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
3
Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and fortress.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
4
Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
5
For You are my hope, Lord God , my confidence from my youth.
6 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
6
I have leaned on You from birth; You took me from my mother's womb. My praise is always about You.
7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
7
I have become an ominous sign to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
8
My mouth is full of praise and honor to You all day long.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
9
Don't discard me in my old age: as my strength fails, do not abandon me.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
10
For my enemies talk about me, and those who spy on me plot together,
11 Saying, `God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
11
saying, "God has abandoned him; chase him and catch him, for there is no one to rescue [him]."
12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
12
God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry to help me.
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
13
May my adversaries be disgraced and confounded; may those who seek my harm be covered with disgrace and humiliation.
14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
14
But I will hope continually and will praise You more and more.
15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
15
My mouth will tell about Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot sum them up.
16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness -- Thine only.
16
I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God ; I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone.
17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
17
God, You have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.
18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
18
Even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me. Then I will proclaim Your power to [another] generation, Your strength to all who are to come.
19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
19
Your righteousness reaches heaven, God, You who have done great things; God, who is like You?
20 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up.
20
You caused me to experience many troubles and misfortunes, but You will revive me again. You will bring me up again, even from the depths of the earth.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest -- Thou comfortest me,
21
You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
22 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
22
Therefore, with a lute I will praise You for Your faithfulness, my God; I will sing to You with a harp, Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
23
My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to You, because You have redeemed me.
24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed -- because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
24
Therefore, my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm will be disgraced and confounded.
