2	But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.	But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3	And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.	He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

11	Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.	Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.

9	For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.	Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.
10	Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.	Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

5	Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.	then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.

1	Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?	Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2	The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.	In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.

10	He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.	His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.
11	He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.	He says to himself, "God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees."

13	Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.	Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, "He won't call me to account"?
14	Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.	But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15	Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.	Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; call him to account for his wickedness that would not be found out.

Psalms - Chapter 11

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?	In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.
2	For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.	For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3	If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?	When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do ?"
4	The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.	The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.
5	The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.	The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates.
6	Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.	On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.

1	Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.	Help, LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.
2	They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.	Everyone lies to his neighbor; their flattering lips speak with deception.
3	The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:	May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue
4	Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?	that says, "We will triumph with our tongues; we own our lips --who is our master?"
5	For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.	"Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I will protect them from those who malign them."
6	The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.	And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.
7	Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.	O LORD, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever.

2	The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.	The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3	They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.	All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4	Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.	Will evildoers never learn-- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the LORD?
5	There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.	There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6	Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.	You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge.

2	O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;	I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
3	But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.	As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.
4	Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.	The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips.
5	The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.	LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
6	The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.	The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7	I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.	I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8	I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.	I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9	Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.	Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
10	For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.	because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
11	Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.	You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Psalms - Chapter 17

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.	Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer-- it does not rise from deceitful lips.
2	Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.	May my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right.
3	Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.	Though you probe my heart and examine me at night, though you test me, you will find nothing; I have resolved that my mouth will not sin.
4	Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.	As for the deeds of men-- by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
5	Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.	My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not slipped.
6	I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.	I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer.
7	Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.	Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.
8	Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,	Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
9	From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.	from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
10	They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.	They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance.
11	They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;	They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12	Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.	They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a great lion crouching in cover.
13	Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:	Rise up, O LORD, confront them, bring them down; rescue me from the wicked by your sword.
14	From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.	O LORD, by your hand save me from such men, from men of this world whose reward is in this life. You still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
15	As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.	And I--in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

Psalms - Chapter 18

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.	I love you, O LORD, my strength.
2	The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.	The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3	I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.	I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.
4	The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.	The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
5	The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.	The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.
6	In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.	In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
7	Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.	The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.
8	There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.	Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.
9	He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.	He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
10	And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.	He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.
11	He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.	He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him-- the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12	At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.	Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
13	The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.	The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
14	Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.	He shot his arrows and scattered the enemies, great bolts of lightning and routed them.
15	Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.	The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
16	He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.	He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.
17	He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.	He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.
18	They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.	They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.
19	He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.	He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.
20	The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.	The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
21	For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.	For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not done evil by turning from my God.
22	For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.	All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.
23	I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.	I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.
24	Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.	The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25	With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;	To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26	With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.	to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
27	For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.	You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
28	For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.	You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.
29	For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.	With your help I can advance against a troop ; with my God I can scale a wall.
30	As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.	As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
31	For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?	For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
32	It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.	It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.
33	He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.	He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.
34	He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.	He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35	Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.	You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great.
36	Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.	You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn.
37	I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.	I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38	I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.	I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.
39	For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.	You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my feet.
40	Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.	You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.
41	They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.	They cried for help, but there was no one to save them-- to the LORD, but he did not answer.
42	Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.	I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind; I poured them out like mud in the streets.
43	Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.	You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations; people I did not know are subject to me.
44	As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.	As soon as they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cringe before me.
45	The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.	They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.
46	The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.	The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!
47	It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.	He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me,
48	He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.	who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me.
49	Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.	Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O LORD; I will sing praises to your name.
50	Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.	He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.

12	Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.	Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.

11	For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.	For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
12	What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.	Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.	Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2	Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.	Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
3	For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.	for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.
4	I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.	I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites;
5	I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.	I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6	I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:	I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD,
7	That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.	proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
8	LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.	I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells.
9	Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:	Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men,
10	In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.	in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
11	But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.	But I lead a blameless life; redeem me and be merciful to me.
12	My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.	My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD.

5	For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.	For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.
6	And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.	Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7	Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.	Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.
8	When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.	My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9	Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.	Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior.
10	When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.	Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
11	Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.	Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.

5	Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.	Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.
6	Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.	Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.

7	For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.	Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me,
8	Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.	may ruin overtake them by surprise-- may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
9	And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.	Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation.
10	All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?	My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like you, O LORD? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them."
11	False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.	Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about.
12	They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.	They repay me evil for good and leave my soul forlorn.
13	But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.	Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14	I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.	I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother.
15	But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:	But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; attackers gathered against me when I was unaware. They slandered me without ceasing.
16	With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.	Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked ; they gnashed their teeth at me.
17	Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.	O Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my life from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
18	I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.	I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people I will praise you.
19	Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.	Let not those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; let not those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye.
20	For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.	They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against those who live quietly in the land.
21	Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.	They gape at me and say, "Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it."
22	This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.	O LORD, you have seen this; be not silent. Do not be far from me, O Lord.
23	Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.	Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord.
24	Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.	Vindicate me in your righteousness, O LORD my God; do not let them gloat over me.
25	Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.	Do not let them think, "Aha, just what we wanted!" or say, "We have swallowed him up."
26	Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.	May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27	Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.	May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, "The LORD be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant."
28	And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.	My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.

Psalms - Chapter 36

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.	An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2	For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.	For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.
3	The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.	The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4	He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.	Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.
5	Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.	Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
6	Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.	Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
7	How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.	How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8	They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.	They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
9	For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.	For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
10	O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.	Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11	Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.	May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12	There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.	See how the evildoers lie fallen-- thrown down, not able to rise!

Psalms - Chapter 37

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.	Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong;
2	For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.	for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
3	Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.	Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4	Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.	Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5	Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.	Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6	And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.	He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7	Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.	Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8	Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.	Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret--it leads only to evil.
9	For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.	For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10	For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.	A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
11	But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.	But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
12	The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.	The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;
13	The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.	but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.
14	The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.	The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
15	Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.	But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
16	A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.	Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked;
17	For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.	for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18	The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.	The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever.
19	They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.	In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20	But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.	But the wicked will perish: The LORD's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish--vanish like smoke.
21	The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.	The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
22	For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.	those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be cut off.
23	The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.	If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;
24	Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.	though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
25	I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.	I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.
26	He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.	They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed.
27	Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.	Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.
28	For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.	For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off;
29	The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.	the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
30	The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.	The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.
31	The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.	The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.
32	The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.	The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, seeking their very lives;
33	The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.	but the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
34	Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.	Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
35	I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.	I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,
36	Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.	but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.
37	Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.	Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace.
38	But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.	But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
39	But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.	The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40	And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.	The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

Psalms - Chapter 38

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.	O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2	For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.	For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me.
3	There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.	Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.
4	For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.	My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
5	My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.	My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
6	I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.	I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
7	For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.	My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
8	I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.	I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
9	Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.	All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
10	My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.	My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
11	My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.	My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
12	They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.	Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.
13	But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.	I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;
14	Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.	I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
15	For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.	I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God.
16	For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.	For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
17	For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.	For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18	For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.	I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
19	But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.	Many are those who are my vigorous enemies; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20	They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.	Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good.
21	Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.	O LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.
22	Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.	Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.

Psalms - Chapter 39

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.	I said, "I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence."
2	I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.	But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything good, my anguish increased.
3	My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,	My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
4	LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.	"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.
5	Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.	You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath.
6	Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.	Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.
7	And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.	"But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
8	Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.	Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools.
9	I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.	I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this.
10	Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.	Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
11	When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.	You rebuke and discipline men for their sin; you consume their wealth like a moth-- each man is but a breath.
12	Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.	"Hear my prayer, O LORD, listen to my cry for help; be not deaf to my weeping. For I dwell with you as an alien, a stranger, as all my fathers were.
13	O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.	Look away from me, that I may rejoice again before I depart and am no more."

Psalms - Chapter 40

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.	I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
2	He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.	He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
3	And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.	He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
4	Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.	Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.
5	Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.	Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
6	Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.	Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced ; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7	Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,	Then I said, "Here I am, I have come-- it is written about me in the scroll.
8	I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.	I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
9	I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.	I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know, O LORD.
10	I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.	I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.
11	Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.	Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect me.
12	For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.	For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.
13	Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.	Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.
14	Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.	May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
15	Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.	May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled at their own shame.
16	Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.	But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "The LORD be exalted!"
17	But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.	Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

Psalms - Chapter 41

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.	Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.
2	The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.	The LORD will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.
3	The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.	The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness.
4	I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.	I said, "O LORD, have mercy on me; heal me, for I have sinned against you."
5	Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?	My enemies say of me in malice, "When will he die and his name perish?"
6	And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.	Whenever one comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it abroad.
7	All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.	All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,
8	An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.	"A vile disease has beset him; he will never get up from the place where he lies."
9	Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.	Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10	But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.	But you, O LORD, have mercy on me; raise me up, that I may repay them.
11	By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.	I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12	And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.	In my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
13	Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.	Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

Psalms - Chapter 42

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.	As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.
2	My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?	My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
3	My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?	My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
4	When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.	These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng.
5	Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.	Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and
6	O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.	my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon--from Mount Mizar.
7	Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.	Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
8	Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.	By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me-- a prayer to the God of my life.
9	I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?	I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?"
10	As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?	My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
11	Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.	Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.	Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from deceitful and wicked men.
2	For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?	You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?
3	O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.	Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.
4	Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.	Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.
5	Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.	Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Psalms - Chapter 44

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.	We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.
2	How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.	With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish.
3	For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.	It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.
4	Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.	You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob.
5	Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.	Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes.
6	For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.	I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;
7	But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.	but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
8	In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.	In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.
9	But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.	But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies.
10	Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.	You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
11	Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.	You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.
12	Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.	You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale.
13	Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.	You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.
14	Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.	You have made us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us.
15	My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,	My disgrace is before me all day long, and my face is covered with shame
16	For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.	at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.
17	All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.	All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant.
18	Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;	Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path.
19	Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.	But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals and covered us over with deep darkness.
20	If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;	If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21	Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.	would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart?
22	Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.	Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23	Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.	Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.
24	Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?	Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?
25	For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.	We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground.
26	Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.	Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love.

9	Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.	Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.
10	Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;	Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear: Forget your people and your father's house.
11	So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.	The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.
12	And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.	The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift, men of wealth will seek your favor.
13	The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.	All glorious is the princess within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold.
14	She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.	In embroidered garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions follow her and are brought to you.
15	With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.	They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.
16	Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.	Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
17	I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.	I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.

2	Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.	It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
3	God is known in her palaces for a refuge.	God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.

Psalms - Chapter 49

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:	Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this world,
2	Both low and high, rich and poor, together.	both low and high, rich and poor alike:
3	My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.	My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give understanding.
4	I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.	I will turn my ear to a proverb; with the harp I will expound my riddle:
5	Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?	Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me--
6	They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;	those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?
7	None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:	No man can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him--
8	(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)	the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough--
9	That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.	that he should live on forever and not see decay.
10	For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.	For all can see that wise men die; the foolish and the senseless alike perish and leave their wealth to others.
11	Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.	Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves.
12	Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.	But man, despite his riches, does not endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
13	This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.	This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings.
14	Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.	Like sheep they are destined for the grave, and death will feed on them. The upright will rule over them in the morning; their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.
15	But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.	But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me to himself.
16	Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;	Do not be overawed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases;
17	For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.	for he will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not descend with him.
18	Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.	Though while he lived he counted himself blessed-- and men praise you when you prosper--
19	He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.	he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of life.
20	Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.	A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

Psalms - Chapter 50

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.	The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.
2	Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.	From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
3	Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.	Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.
4	He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.	He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people:
5	Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.	"Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
6	And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.	And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge.
7	Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.	"Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
8	I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.	I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
9	I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.	I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,
10	For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.	for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11	I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.	I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.
12	If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.	If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13	Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?	Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14	Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:	Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High,
15	And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.	and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
16	But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?	But to the wicked, God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?
17	Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.	You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.
18	When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.	When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers.
19	Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.	You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.
20	Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.	You speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother's son.
21	These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.	These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
22	Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.	"Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue:
23	Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.	He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God."

3	For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.	For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4	Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.	Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.
5	Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.	Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6	Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.	Surely you desire truth in the inner parts ; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

15	O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.	O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
16	For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.	You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17	The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.	The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18	Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.	In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19	Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.	Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight you; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

Psalms - Chapter 52

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.	Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
2	The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.	Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit.
3	Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.	You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
4	Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.	You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue!
5	God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.	Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living.
6	The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:	The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying,
7	Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.	"Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!"
8	But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.	But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.
9	I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.	I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints.

Psalms - Chapter 53

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.	The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
2	God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.	God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3	Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.	Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4	Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.	Will the evildoers never learn-- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on God?
5	There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.	There they were, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread. God scattered the bones of those who attacked you; you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6	Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.	Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Psalms - Chapter 54

Verse	King James Version	New International Version

2	Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.	Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3	For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.	Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life-- men without regard for God.
4	Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.	Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5	He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.	Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
6	I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.	I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7	For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.	For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.

Psalms - Chapter 55

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.	Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea;
2	Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;	hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
3	Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.	at the voice of the enemy, at the stares of the wicked; for they bring down suffering upon me and revile me in their anger.
4	My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.	My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death assail me.
5	Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.	Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.
6	And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.	I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest--
7	Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.	I would flee far away and stay in the desert;
8	I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.	I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm."
9	Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.	Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
10	Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.	Day and night they prowl about on its walls; malice and abuse are within it.
11	Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.	Destructive forces are at work in the city; threats and lies never leave its streets.
12	For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:	If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were raising himself against me, I could hide from him.
13	But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.	But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend,
14	We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.	with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship as we walked with the throng at the house of God.
15	Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.	Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the grave, for evil finds lodging among them.
16	As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.	But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
17	Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.	Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.
18	He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.	He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
19	God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.	God, who is enthroned forever, will hear them and afflict them-- men who never change their ways and have no fear of God.
20	He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.	My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
21	The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.	His speech is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords.
22	Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.	Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
23	But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.	But you, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of corruption; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you.

Psalms - Chapter 56

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.	Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.
2	Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.	My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride.
3	What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.	When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
4	In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.	In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
5	Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.	All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.
6	They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.	They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life.
7	Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.	On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.
8	Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?	Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll -- are they not in your record?
9	When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.	Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
10	In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.	In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise--
11	In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.	in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12	Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.	I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
13	For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?	For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

Psalms - Chapter 57

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.	Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.
2	I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.	I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me.
3	He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.	He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; God sends his love and his faithfulness.
4	My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.	I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts-- men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5	Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.	Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6	They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.	They spread a net for my feet-- I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path-- but they have fallen into it themselves.
7	My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.	My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
8	Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.	Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9	I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.	I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
10	For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.	For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11	Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.	Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

Psalms - Chapter 58

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?	Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men?
2	Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.	No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
3	The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.	Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.
4	Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;	Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
5	Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.	that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be.
6	Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.	Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions!
7	Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.	Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted.
8	As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.	Like a slug melting away as it moves along, like a stillborn child, may they not see the sun.
9	Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.	Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns-- whether they be green or dry--the wicked will be swept away.
10	The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.	The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11	So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.	Then men will say, "Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth."

Psalms - Chapter 59

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.	Deliver me from my enemies, O God; protect me from those who rise up against me.
2	Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.	Deliver me from evildoers and save me from bloodthirsty men.
3	For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.	See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, O LORD.
4	They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.	I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight!
5	Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.	O LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors.
6	They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.	They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.
7	Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?	See what they spew from their mouths-- they spew out swords from their lips, and they say, "Who can hear us?"
8	But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.	But you, O LORD, laugh at them; you scoff at all those nations.
9	Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.	O my Strength, I watch for you; you, O God, are my fortress,
10	The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.	my loving God. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11	Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.	But do not kill them, O Lord our shield, or my people will forget. In your might make them wander about, and bring them down.
12	For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.	For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies they utter,
13	Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.	consume them in wrath, consume them till they are no more. Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.
14	And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.	They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.
15	Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.	They wander about for food and howl if not satisfied.
16	But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.	But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
17	Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.	O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.

Psalms - Chapter 60

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.	You have rejected us, O God, and burst forth upon us; you have been angry--now restore us!
2	Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.	You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.
3	Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.	You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4	Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.	But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.
5	That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.	Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
6	God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.	God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.
7	Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;	Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.
8	Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.	Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
9	Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?	Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10	Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?	Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
11	Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.	Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
12	Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.	With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.

Psalms - Chapter 61

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.	Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.
2	From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.	From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3	For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.	For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
4	I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.	I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
5	For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.	For you have heard my vows, O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6	Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.	Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations.
7	He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.	May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8	So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.	Then will I ever sing praise to your name and fulfill my vows day after day.

Psalms - Chapter 62

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.	My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
2	He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.	He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3	How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.	How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down-- this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4	They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.	They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.
5	My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.	Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
6	He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.	He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7	In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.	My salvation and my honor depend on God ; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8	Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.	Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
9	Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.	Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.
10	Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.	Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
11	God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.	One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,
12	Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.	and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.

Psalms - Chapter 63

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;	O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2	To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.	I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
3	Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.	Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4	Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.	I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5	My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:	My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6	When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.	On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
7	Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.	Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8	My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.	My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
9	But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.	They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10	They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.	They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
11	But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.	But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

Psalms - Chapter 64

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.	Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2	Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:	Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from that noisy crowd of evildoers.
3	Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:	They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows.
4	That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.	They shoot from ambush at the innocent man; they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.
5	They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?	They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, "Who will see them ?"
6	They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.	They plot injustice and say, "We have devised a perfect plan!" Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.
7	But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.	But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck down.
8	So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.	He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9	And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.	All mankind will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.
10	The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.	Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him!

Psalms - Chapter 65

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.	Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled.
2	O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.	O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
3	Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.	When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions.
4	Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.	Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.
5	By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:	You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas,
6	Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:	who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength,
7	Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.	who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
8	They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.	Those living far away fear your wonders; where morning dawns and evening fades you call forth songs of joy.
9	Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.	You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.
10	Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.	You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
11	Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.	You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.
12	They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.	The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness.
13	The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.	The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.

Psalms - Chapter 66

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:	Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
2	Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.	Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!
3	Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.	Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
4	All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.	All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name."
5	Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.	Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!
6	He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.	He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot-- come, let us rejoice in him.
7	He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.	He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations-- let not the rebellious rise up against him.
8	O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:	Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
9	Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.	he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
10	For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.	For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
11	Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.	You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
12	Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.	You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
13	I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,	I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you--
14	Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.	vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
15	I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.	I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.	Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck.
2	I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.	I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.
3	I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.	I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.
4	They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.	Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal.
5	O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.	You know my folly, O God; my guilt is not hidden from you.
6	Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.	May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me, O Lord, the LORD Almighty; may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me, O God of Israel.
7	Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.	For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face.
8	I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.	I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother's sons;
9	For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.	for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
10	When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.	When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn;
11	I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.	when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me.
12	They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.	Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards.
13	But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.	But I pray to you, O LORD, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation.
14	Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.	Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters.
15	Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.	Do not let the floodwaters engulf me or the depths swallow me up or the pit close its mouth over me.

17	And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.	Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
18	Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.	Come near and rescue me; redeem me because of my foes.
19	Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.	You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; all my enemies are before you.
20	Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.	Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found none.
21	They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.	They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
22	Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.	May the table set before them become a snare; may it become retribution and a trap.
23	Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.	May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
24	Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.	Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them.
25	Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.	May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26	For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.	For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
27	Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.	Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation.
28	Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.	May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.
29	But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.	I am in pain and distress; may your salvation, O God, protect me.
30	I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.	I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.
31	This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.	This will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hoofs.
32	The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.	The poor will see and be glad-- you who seek God, may your hearts live!
33	For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.	The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.
34	Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.	Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them,
35	For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.	for God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. Then people will settle there and possess it;

3	Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.	May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" turn back because of their shame.
4	Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.	But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "Let God be exalted!"
5	But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.	Yet I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

9	Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.	Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10	For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,	For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11	Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.	They say, "God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him."
12	O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.	Be not far from me, O God; come quickly, O my God, to help me.

Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.
19	Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!	Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you?
20	Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.	Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.

Psalms - Chapter 73

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.	Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2	But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.	But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.
3	For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.	For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4	For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.	They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.
5	They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.	They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills.
6	Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.	Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
7	Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.	From their callous hearts comes iniquity ; the evil conceits of their minds know no limits.
8	They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.	They scoff, and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression.
9	They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.	Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10	Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.	Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance.
11	And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?	They say, "How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?"
12	Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.	This is what the wicked are like-- always carefree, they increase in wealth.
13	Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.	Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure; in vain have I washed my hands in innocence.
14	For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.	All day long I have been plagued; I have been punished every morning.
15	If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.	If I had said, "I will speak thus," I would have betrayed your children.
16	When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;	When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me
17	Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.	till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.
18	Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.	Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.
19	How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.	How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!
20	As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.	As a dream when one awakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.
21	Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.	When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,
22	So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.	I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.
23	Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.	Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
24	Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.	You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
25	Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.	Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26	My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.	My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27	For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.	Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
28	But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.	But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.

Psalms - Chapter 74

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?	Why have you rejected us forever, O God? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
2	Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.	Remember the people you purchased of old, the tribe of your inheritance, whom you redeemed-- Mount Zion, where you dwelt.
3	Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.	Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins, all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.
4	Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.	Your foes roared in the place where you met with us; they set up their standards as signs.
5	A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.	They behaved like men wielding axes to cut through a thicket of trees.
6	But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.	They smashed all the carved paneling with their axes and hatchets.
7	They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.	They burned your sanctuary to the ground; they defiled the dwelling place of your Name.
8	They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.	They said in their hearts, "We will crush them completely!" They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.
9	We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.	We are given no miraculous signs; no prophets are left, and none of us knows how long this will be.
10	O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?	How long will the enemy mock you, O God? Will the foe revile your name forever?
11	Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.	Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the folds of your garment and destroy them!
12	For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.	But you, O God, are my king from of old; you bring salvation upon the earth.
13	Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.	It was you who split open the sea by your power; you broke the heads of the monster in the waters.
14	Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.	It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave him as food to the creatures of the desert.
15	Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.	It was you who opened up springs and streams; you dried up the ever flowing rivers.
16	The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.	The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon.
17	Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.	It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.
18	Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.	Remember how the enemy has mocked you, O LORD, how foolish people have reviled your name.
19	O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.	Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts; do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever.
20	Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.	Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
21	O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.	Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name.
22	Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.	Rise up, O God, and defend your cause; remember how fools mock you all day long.
23	Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.	Do not ignore the clamor of your adversaries, the uproar of your enemies, which rises continually.

Psalms - Chapter 75

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.	We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near; men tell of your wonderful deeds.
2	When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.	You say, "I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge uprightly.
3	The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.	When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm.
4	I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:	To the arrogant I say, `Boast no more,' and to the wicked, `Do not lift up your horns.
5	Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.	Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak with outstretched neck.'"
6	For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.	No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man.
7	But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.	But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.
8	For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.	In the hand of the LORD is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices; he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to its very dregs.
9	But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.	As for me, I will declare this forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10	All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.	I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

Psalms - Chapter 76

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.	In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel.
2	In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.	His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
3	There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.	There he broke the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.
4	Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.	You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game.
5	The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.	Valiant men lie plundered, they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands.
6	At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.	At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still.
7	Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?	You alone are to be feared. Who can stand before you when you are angry?
8	Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,	From heaven you pronounced judgment, and the land feared and was quiet--
9	When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.	when you, O God, rose up to judge, to save all the afflicted of the land.
10	Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.	Surely your wrath against men brings you praise, and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11	Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.	Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared.
12	He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.	He breaks the spirit of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.

Psalms - Chapter 77

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.	I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.
2	In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.	When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted.
3	I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.	I remembered you, O God, and I groaned; I mused, and my spirit grew faint.
4	Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.	You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
5	I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.	I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;
6	I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.	I remembered my songs in the night. My heart mused and my spirit inquired:
7	Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?	"Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?
8	Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?	Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?
9	Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.	Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?"
10	And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.	Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High."
11	I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.	I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12	I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.	I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.
13	Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?	Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God?
14	Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.	You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
15	Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.	With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16	The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.	The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed.
17	The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.	The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.
18	The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.	Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
19	Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.	Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.
20	Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.	You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalms - Chapter 78

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.	O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.
2	I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:	I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old--
3	Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.	what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us.
4	We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.	We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.
5	For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:	He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,
6	That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:	so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.
7	That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:	Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.
8	And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.	They would not be like their forefathers-- a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him.
9	The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.	The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned back on the day of battle;
10	They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;	they did not keep God's covenant and refused to live by his law.
11	And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.	They forgot what he had done, the wonders he had shown them.
12	Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.	He did miracles in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
13	He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.	He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand firm like a wall.
14	In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.	He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night.
15	He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.	He split the rocks in the desert and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16	He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.	he brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.
17	And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.	But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
18	And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.	They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved.
19	Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?	They spoke against God, saying, "Can God spread a table in the desert?
20	Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?	When he struck the rock, water gushed out, and streams flowed abundantly. But can he also give us food? Can he supply meat for his people?"
21	Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;	When the LORD heard them, he was very angry; his fire broke out against Jacob, and his wrath rose against Israel,
22	Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:	for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.
23	Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,	Yet he gave a command to the skies above and opened the doors of the heavens;
24	And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.	he rained down manna for the people to eat, he gave them the grain of heaven.
25	Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.	Men ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat.
26	He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.	He let loose the east wind from the heavens and led forth the south wind by his power.
27	He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:	He rained meat down on them like dust, flying birds like sand on the seashore.
28	And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.	He made them come down inside their camp, all around their tents.
29	So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;	They ate till they had more than enough, for he had given them what they craved.
30	They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,	But before they turned from the food they craved, even while it was still in their mouths,
31	The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.	God's anger rose against them; he put to death the sturdiest among them, cutting down the young men of Israel.
32	For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.	In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; in spite of his wonders, they did not believe.
33	Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.	So he ended their days in futility and their years in terror.
34	When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.	Whenever God slew them, they would seek him; they eagerly turned to him again.
35	And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.	They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
36	Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.	But then they would flatter him with their mouths, lying to him with their tongues;
37	For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.	their hearts were not loyal to him, they were not faithful to his covenant.
38	But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.	Yet he was merciful; he forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. Time after time he restrained his anger and did not stir up his full wrath.
39	For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.	He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
40	How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!	How often they rebelled against him in the desert and grieved him in the wasteland!
41	Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.	Again and again they put God to the test; they vexed the Holy One of Israel.
42	They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.	They did not remember his power-- the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,
43	How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.	the day he displayed his miraculous signs in Egypt, his wonders in the region of Zoan.
44	And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.	He turned their rivers to blood; they could not drink from their streams.
45	He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.	He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.
46	He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.	He gave their crops to the grasshopper, their produce to the locust.
47	He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.	He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48	He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.	He gave over their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning.
49	He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.	He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation and hostility-- a band of destroying angels.
50	He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;	He prepared a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death but gave them over to the plague.
51	And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:	He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.
52	But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.	But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the desert.
53	And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.	He guided them safely, so they were unafraid; but the sea engulfed their enemies.
54	And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.	Thus he brought them to the border of his holy land, to the hill country his right hand had taken.
55	He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.	He drove out nations before them and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance; he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
56	Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:	But they put God to the test and rebelled against the Most High; they did not keep his statutes.
57	But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.	Like their fathers they were disloyal and faithless, as unreliable as a faulty bow.
58	For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.	They angered him with their high places; they aroused his jealousy with their idols.
59	When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:	When God heard them, he was very angry; he rejected Israel completely.
60	So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;	He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among men.
61	And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.	He sent the ark of his might into captivity, his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
62	He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.	He gave his people over to the sword; he was very angry with his inheritance.
63	The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.	Fire consumed their young men, and their maidens had no wedding songs;
64	Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.	their priests were put to the sword, and their widows could not weep.
65	Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.	Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a man wakes from the stupor of wine.
66	And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.	He beat back his enemies; he put them to everlasting shame.
67	Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:	Then he rejected the tents of Joseph, he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;
68	But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.	but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loved.
69	And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.	He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established forever.
70	He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:	He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens;
71	From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.	from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob, of Israel his inheritance.
72	So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.	And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.

Psalms - Chapter 79

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.	O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
2	The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.	They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3	Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.	They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
4	We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.	We are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.
5	How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?	How long, O LORD? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
6	Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.	Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;
7	For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.	for they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his homeland.
8	O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.	Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.
9	Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.	Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.
10	Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.	Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.
11	Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;	May the groans of the prisoners come before you; by the strength of your arm preserve those condemned to die.
12	And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.	Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the reproach they have hurled at you, O Lord.
13	So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.	Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.	Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock; you who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth
2	Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.	before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us.
3	Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.	Restore us, O God; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
4	O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?	O LORD God Almighty, how long will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people?
5	Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.	You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.
6	Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.	You have made us a source of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.

8	Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.	You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
9	Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.	You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
10	The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.	The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
11	She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.	It sent out its boughs to the Sea, its shoots as far as the River.
12	Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?	Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13	The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.	Boars from the forest ravage it and the creatures of the field feed on it.
14	Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;	Return to us, O God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
15	And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.	the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself.
16	It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.	Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.

18	So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.	Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
19	Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.	Restore us, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.

2	Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.	Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre.
3	Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.	Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast;

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.	Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.
2	Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.	Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3	Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.	You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men."
4	For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.	For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
5	Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.	You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning--
6	In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.	though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered.
7	For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.	We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.
8	Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.	You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9	For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.	All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
10	The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.	The length of our days is seventy years-- or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11	Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.	Who knows the power of your anger? For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.
12	So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.	Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13	Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.	Relent, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.
14	O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.	Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

19	In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.	When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
20	Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?	Can a corrupt throne be allied with you-- one that brings on misery by its decrees?

Psalms - Chapter 109

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;	O God, whom I praise, do not remain silent,
2	For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.	for wicked and deceitful men have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
3	They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.	With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.
4	For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.	In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.
5	And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.	They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship.
6	Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.	Appoint an evil man to oppose him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7	When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.	When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him.
8	Let his days be few; and let another take his office.	May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
9	Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.	May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
10	Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.	May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
11	Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.	May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12	Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.	May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.
13	Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.	May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation.
14	Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.	May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15	Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.	May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16	Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.	For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.
17	As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.	He loved to pronounce a curse-- may it come on him; he found no pleasure in blessing-- may it be far from him.
18	As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.	He wore cursing as his garment; it entered into his body like water, into his bones like oil.
19	Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.	May it be like a cloak wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.
20	Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.	May this be the LORD's payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me.
21	But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.	But you, O Sovereign LORD, deal well with me for your name's sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
22	For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.	For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23	I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.	I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.
24	My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.	My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt.
25	I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.	I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
26	Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:	Help me, O LORD my God; save me in accordance with your love.
27	That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.	Let them know that it is your hand, that you, O LORD, have done it.
28	Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.	They may curse, but you will bless; when they attack they will be put to shame, but your servant will rejoice.
29	Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.	My accusers will be clothed with disgrace and wrapped in shame as in a cloak.
30	I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.	With my mouth I will greatly extol the LORD; in the great throng I will praise him.
31	For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.	For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save his life from those who condemn him.

4	The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.	The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
5	The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.	The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

3	Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.	Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.
4	As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.	Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.
5	Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.	Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

7	Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.	with it the reaper cannot fill his hands, nor the one who gathers fill his arms.
8	Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.	May those who pass by not say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD."

3	If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?	If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?

2	Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.	But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3	Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.	O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore.

1	Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:	O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
2	How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;	He swore an oath to the LORD and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

7	We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.	"Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool--
8	Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.	arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.

12	If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.	if your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
13	For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.	For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:
14	This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.	"This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it--
15	I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.	I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.
16	I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.	I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for joy.
17	There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.	"Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18	His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.	I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be resplendent."

3	As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.	It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

8	Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.	He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of men and animals.
9	Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.	He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

Psalms - Chapter 137

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.	By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.
2	We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.	There on the poplars we hung our harps,
3	For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.	for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.	O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
2	Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.	You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3	Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.	You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4	For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.	Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
5	Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.	You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
6	Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.	Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7	Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?	Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

13	For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.	For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14	I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.	I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15	My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.	My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16	Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.	your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17	How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!	How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18	If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.	Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
19	Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.	If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20	For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.	They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21	Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?	Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?
22	I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.	I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23	Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:	Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24	And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.	See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

9	As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.	Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused.
10	Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.	Let burning coals fall upon them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise.
11	Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.	Let slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down men of violence.
