NKJV Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New King James VersionNew International Version
1A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, Give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, And in Your righteousness.1A psalm of David. LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
2Do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no one living is righteous.2Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
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.3The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.
4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is distressed.4So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.5I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
6I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah6I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.
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 fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down 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.8Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
9Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.9Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself 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; may 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 your name's sake, LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, 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.12In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
