NKJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New King James VersionInternational Standard Version
1A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, Give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, And in Your righteousness.1LORD, hear my prayer; pay attention to my request, because you are faithful; answer me in your righteousness.
2Do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no one living is righteous.2Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for no living person is righteous in your sight.
3For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in darkness, Like those who have long been dead.3For those who oppose me are pursuing my life, crushing me to the ground, making me sit in darkness like those who died long ago.
4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is distressed.4As a result, my spirit is desolate within me, and my mind within me is appalled.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.5I remember the former times, meditating on everything you have done. I think about the work of your hands.
6I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah6I stretch out my hands toward you, longing for you like a parched land. Interlude
7Answer me speedily, O LORD; My spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.7Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit is failing. Do not hide your face from me; otherwise, I will become like those who descend to the Pit,
8Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.8In the morning let me hear of your gracious love, for in you I trust. Cause me to know the way I should take, because I have set my hope on you.
9Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.9Deliver me from my enemies, LORD. I have taken refuge in you.
10Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.10Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11Revive me, O LORD, for Your name’s sake! For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.11For the sake of your name, LORD, preserve my life. Because you are righteous, bring me out of trouble.
12In Your mercy cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul; For I am Your servant.12Because of your gracious love, you will cut off my enemies. You will destroy all who oppose me, for I am your servant.
