KJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleInternational Standard Version
1A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.1LORD, listen and answer me, for I am afflicted and needy.
2Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.2Protect me, for I am faithful; My God, deliver your servant who trusts in you.
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.3Have mercy on me Lord, for I call on you all day long.
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.4Your servant rejoices, because, Lord, I set my hope on you.
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.5Indeed you, Lord, are kind and forgiving, overflowing with gracious love to everyone who calls on you.
6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.6Hear my prayer, LORD; attend to my prayer of supplication.
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.7In my troubled times I will call on you, for you will answer me.
8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.8No one can compare with you among the gods, Lord; No one can accomplish your work.
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.9All the nations that you have established will come and worship you, my Lord. They will honor your name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.10For you are great, and you are doing awesome things; you alone are God.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.11Teach me your ways, LORD, that I may walk in your truth; let me wholeheartedly revere your name.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole being; and I will honor your name continuously.
13For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.13For great is your gracious love to me; you've delivered me from the depths of Sheol.
14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.14God, arrogant men rise up against me, while a company of ruthless individuals want to kill me. They do not have regard for you.
15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.15But you, Lord, are a compassionate God, merciful and patient, with unending gracious love and faithfulness.
16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.16Return to me and have mercy on me; clothe your servant with your strength and deliver the son of your maid servant.
17Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.17Show me a sign of your goodness, so that those who hate me will see it and be ashamed. For you, LORD, will help and comfort me.
