Verse	BSB	KJV	WEB	ASV
1	To You, O Lord, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.	Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.	To you, Lord, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.	Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2	Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.	Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.	Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.	Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3	Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.	Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.	Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.	Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.
4	Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.	Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.	Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.	Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert.
5	Since they show no regard for the works of the Lord or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.	Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.	Because they don’t respect the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.	Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.
6	Blessed be the Lord, for He has heard my cry for mercy.	Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.	Blessed be the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.	Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7	The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.	The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.	The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.	Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him.
8	The Lord is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.	The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.	The Lord is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.	Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9	Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.	Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.	Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.	Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: Be their shepherd also, and bear them up for ever.
