10For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire, | 10For my enemies talk against me; those who seek to kill me plot together |
11saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.” | 11and say, "God has abandoned him. Run after him and seize him, because there's no deliverer." |
12Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me. | 12God, do not be distant from me. My God, come quickly to help me. |
13May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace. | 13Let my adversaries be ashamed and consumed; let those who seek my destruction be covered with scorn and disgrace. |

19Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You? | 19Your many righteous deeds, God, are great, |
20Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up. | 20God, who can compare to you, who caused me to experience troubles that were numerous and disastrous? You will return to revive me and lift me up from the depths of the earth. |
21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. | 21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. |
22So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. | 22I also will praise you with the harp; because of your faithfulness, my God, I will praise you with the lyre— Holy One of Israel. |
23When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed. | 23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you, whose life you have redeemed. |
