King James Version
KJV
[1] Be mercifull vnto me O Lorde: for man goeth about to deuour me, he dayly fyghtyng, oppresseth me [1]Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
[2]Myne enemies are dayly in hande to swalowe me vp: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most highest [2]Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
[3][Neuerthelesse] at all times as I am afraide: I put my whole trust in thee [3]What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
[4]In the Lord I wyll prayse his word: in the Lorde I haue put my trust, and I wyll not feare what flesh can do vnto me [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.
[5]My wordes dayly put me to sorow: all that they do imagine, is to do me euill [5]Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
[6]They flocke together, they kepe them selues close: they marke my steppes, that they may lye in wayte for my soule [6]They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
[7]Shall they escape for their wickednes? O Lorde in thy displeasure cast downe headlong this people [7]Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
[8]Thou hast numbred my flittinges, thou hast put my teares in thy bottell: [are] not these thinges [noted] in thy booke [8]Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
[9]Whensoeuer I call vpon thee, then shall myne enemies be put to flight: this I know, for the Lorde is on my side [9]When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
[10]In the Lord I wyll prayse the word: In God I wyll prayse the worde [10]In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
[11]In the Lorde I put my trust: I wyll not be afraide what man can do vnto me [11]In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
[12]O Lorde, thy vowes be vpon me: vnto thee wyll I geue thankes & praise [12]Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
[13]For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, and my feete from falling: that I may walke before the Lorde in the light of the liuing [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?
