ESV Parallel KJV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionKing James Bible
1Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.1A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.2Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.3Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.4Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours.8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.13For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them.14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant.16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.17Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
