1 Lord my God, I take refuge in you;

save and deliver me from all who pursue me,

2 or they will tear me apart like a lion

and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

1 O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge;

save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,

2 lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,

rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.

1 I come to you for protection, O Lord my God.

Save me from my persecutors—rescue me!

2 If you don’t, they will maul me like a lion,

tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

1 O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me;

And deliver me,

2 Lest they tear me like a lion,

Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

1 Lord my God, I trust in you for protection.

Save me and rescue me

from those who are chasing me.

2 Otherwise, like a lion they will tear me apart.

They will rip me to pieces, and no one can save me.

1 O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge:

Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,

2 Lest they tear my soul like a lion,

Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

1 Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me; 2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.

1 O Lord my God, I have taken refuge in you. 

Save me, and rescue me from all who are pursuing me. 

2 Like a lion they will tear me to pieces 

and drag me off with no one to rescue me. 

1 Yahweh my God, I seek refuge in You;

save me from all my pursuers and rescue me

2 or they will tear me like a lion,

ripping me apart with no one to rescue me.

1 O Lord my God, in you I take refuge;

save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,

2 or like a lion they will tear me apart;

they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.

1 O Yahweh, my God, in you I have taken refuge.

Save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me.

2 Or else he will tear me apart like a lion,

ripping to pieces, with none to deliver.

1 Lord my God, I go to you for safety.

Help me. Save me from all those who are chasing me.

2 If you don’t, they will tear me apart as if they were lions.

They will rip me to pieces so that no one can save me.

1 O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge;

Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

2 Or he will tear my soul like a lion,

Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.
