Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation BSB Berean Standard Bible

To the Overseer . -- `On the Dumb Dove far off . ' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines ' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

For the choirmaster . To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks . ” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me ; all day they press their attack.

Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many `are' fighting against me , O most High,

My enemies pursue me all day long , for many proudly assail me .

The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee .

When I am afraid , I put my trust in You .

In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me .

In God , whose word I praise — in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me ?

All the day they wrest my words , Concerning me all their thoughts ` are ' for evil,

All day long they twist my words ; all their thoughts are on my demise.

They assemble , they hide , they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul .

They conspire , they lurk , they watch my steps while they wait to take my life .

By iniquity they escape , In anger the peoples put down , O God.

In spite of such sin, will they escape ? In Your anger, O God , cast down the nations .

My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle , Are they not in Thy book?

You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle — are they not in Your book?

Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call . This I have known, that God ` is ' for me .

Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help . By this I will know that God is on my side .

In God I praise the word , In Jehovah I praise the word .

In God , whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,

In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me ,

in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me ?

On me, O God , `are' Thy vows, I repay thank - offerings to Thee .

Your vows are upon me, O God ; I will render thank offerings to You .

For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
