YLT
Young's Literal Translation
For
the choirmaster.
With stringed instruments. A
Maskil
of
David. Listen
to
my
prayer
, O God, and do
not ignore
my plea
.
To
the Overseer
with stringed instruments. --
An
instruction,
by
David. Give
ear
, O God, `to'
my
prayer,
And hide
not from
my supplication
.
Attend to me and answer me .
I am
restless
in my complaint
, and distraught
Attend to me ,
and answer me ,
I mourn
in my meditation
, and make
a
noise,
at
the voice of the
enemy, at
the pressure
of the wicked .
For they release
disaster
upon
me and revile
me
in their
anger.
Because
of
the voice of an
enemy, Because
of
the oppression
of the wicked ,
For they cause
sorrow
to
move
against
me ,
And in anger they
hate
me
.
My heart murmurs
within me, and the
terrors of death assail
me.
My heart is
pained
within me, And terrors of death have
fallen
on
me.
Fear and trembling grip
me, and horror has
overwhelmed
me.
Fear and trembling come
in
to
me, And horror doth
cover
me.
I said,
“Oh
, that
I
had
wings
like
a dove !
I would
fly away and find
rest .
And
I say
, `Who
doth
give
to
me
a pinion
as
a
dove ?
I fly away and rest ,
How
far away
I would
flee!
In the
wilderness I
would
remain
. Selah
Lo,
I
move
far off,
I lodge
in a
wilderness. Selah .
I would
hurry
to
my
shelter
, far
from this
raging
tempest
. ”
I hasten
escape
for
myself
, From a
rushing
wind,
from
a
whirlwind
.
O Lord, confuse
and
confound
their speech
, for I see
violence and strife in the
city.
Swallow
up,
O Lord, divide
their tongue
, For I saw
violence and strife in a
city.
Day and night they encircle
the
walls
, while
malice
and
trouble
lie
within
.
By
day and by
night they go
round
it
, on
its
walls
. Both
iniquity
and
perverseness
`are'
in
its
midst,
Destruction
is
within;
oppression
and deceit never
leave
the
streets
.
Mischiefs
`are'
in
its
midst.
Fraud
and deceit depart
not
from
its
street
.
For it
is
not
an enemy who
insults
me ;
that
I could
endure.
It is not a
foe
who
rises
against me ;
from
him
I could
hide.
For an enemy reproacheth
me not,
or
I bear
`
it ',
He
who
is hating
me
Hath
not magnified
himself
against me ,
Or
I hide from
him
.
But it
is
you
, a man like
myself
, my companion
and
close
friend.
But thou
, a man --
as
mine
equal
, My familiar
friend ,
and
mine
acquaintance
.
We
shared
sweet
fellowship
together ;
we walked
with
the
crowd
into the house of God.
When
together we sweeten
counsel,
Into the house of God we
walk
in
company
.
Let
death
seize
them
by
surprise;
let
them go down to Sheol alive, for evil
is with
them
in their homes
.
Desolations
`are'
upon
them ,
They
go down `
to '
Sheol --
alive, For wickedness
`
is '
in their dwelling,
in
their
midst
.
But
I call
to God, and the
LORD
saves
me.
I --
to God I
call
, and Jehovah
saveth
me.
Morning
, noon
, and night
, I cry
out
in
distress
, and He hears
my voice .
Evening
, and
morning
, and noon
, I meditate
, and make
a
noise,
and
He heareth
my voice ,
He redeems
my
soul
in peace from the
battle
waged
against
me, even
though
many
oppose
me.
He hath
ransomed
in peace my
soul
From him
who
is
near
to
me, For
with
the
multitude
they
were
with
me.
God will
hear and humiliate
them —
the
One
enthroned
for
the
ages—
Selah because they do
not
change
and
they
have no fear of
God .
God doth
hear and afflict
them ,
And
He
sitteth
of
old.
Selah .
Because they have no changes,
and
fear not
God ,
My
companion
attacks
his friends;
he violates
his covenant.
He
hath
sent
forth
his hands
against
his
well-wishers,
He hath
polluted
his covenant.
His speech
is
smooth
as
butter
, but
war
is
in
his heart .
His words are
softer
than oil, yet
they are swords unsheathed
.
Sweeter
than
honey
hath
been
his mouth
, And
his heart `is'
war!
Softer
have
been
his words than oil, And
they `
are '
drawn
`
swords '
.
Cast your
burden
upon
the
LORD
and He will
sustain you;
He will
never
let
the righteous be
shaken
.
Cast on
Jehovah
that
which
He
hath
given
thee,
And He doth
sustain thee,
He doth
not
suffer
for
ever
the moving
of
the
righteous.
But
You
, O God, will
bring them down to the
Pit of destruction ;
men of bloodshed
and deceit will
not live
out
half their days .
But
I will
trust in You.
And
Thou
, O God, dost
bring them down To a
pit of destruction ,
Men of blood
and deceit reach
not to
half their days ,
And
I --
I
do
trust in Thee!
