King James Version
KJV
[1] Be mercifull vnto me O Lorde, be mercifull vnto me: for my soule trusteth in thee, and vnder the shadowe of thy wynges wyll I trust, vntyll this tiranny be ouerpast [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.
[2]I wyll call vnto the most high Lorde: euen vnto the Lord that wil perfourme the cause which I haue in hande [2]I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
[3]He wyll sende from heauen, and saue me from the reproofe of him that woulde deuour me vp, Selah: the Lorde wyll sende foorth his mercie and trueth [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.
[4]My soule is among Lions, and I lye among those that are set on fire: among the children of men whose teeth are speares and arrowes, and their tongue a sharpe sword [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.
[5]Exalt thy selfe O God aboue the heauen: thy glory is aboue all the earth [5]Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
[6]They haue prepared a net for my feete, that some man might presse downe my soule: they haue digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the midst of it them selues. Selah [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.
[7]My heart is redy O Lorde, my heart is redy: I wyll sing, and prayse thee in singing of psalmes [7]My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
[8]Bestirre thee O my glory, bestirre thee O Lute and Harpe: I my selfe wil bestirre me right early in the morning [8]Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
[9]I wyll prayse thee O Lorde among the people: and I wyll sing psalmes vnto thee among the nations [9]I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
[10]For the greatnes of thy mercie reacheth vnto the heauens: and thy trueth vnto the cloudes [10]For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
[11]Exalt thy selfe O Lord aboue the heauens: let thy glory be aboue al the earth [11]Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
