Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation KJV King James Version

To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me , For in Thee is my soul trusting , And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust , Until the calamities pass over .

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 .

I call to God Most High , To God `who' is perfecting for me.

I will cry unto God most high ; unto God that performeth all things for me.

He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me , He reproached -- who is panting after me. Selah. God sendeth forth His kindness and His truth.

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.

My soul ` is ' in the midst of lions , I lie down ` among ' flames -- sons of men, Their teeth ` are ' a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

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.

Be Thou exalted above the heavens , O God, Above all the earth Thine honour .

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

A net they have prepared for my steps , Bowed down hath my soul , They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.

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.

Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart , I sing and praise.

My heart is fixed , O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

Awake , mine honour , awake, psaltery and harp , I awake the morning dawn .

Awake up , my glory; awake, psaltery and harp : I myself will awake early .

I thank Thee among the peoples , O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

For great unto the heavens `is' Thy kindness , And unto the clouds Thy truth .

For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

Be thou exalted above the heavens , O God . Above all the earth Thine honour!

Be thou exalted, O God , above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth .
