ESVEnglish Standard Version

But I call to God,

and the Lord will save me.

Evening and morning and at noon

I utter my complaint and moan,

and he hears my voice.

He redeems my soul in safety

from the battle that I wage,

for many are arrayed against me.

God will give ear and humble them,

he who is enthroned from of old, Selah

because they do not change

and do not fear God.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

As for me, I call to God,

and the Lord saves me.

Evening, morning and noon

I cry out in distress,

and he hears my voice.

He rescues me unharmed

from the battle waged against me,

even though many oppose me.

God, who is enthroned from of old,

who does not change—

he will hear them and humble them,

because they have no fear of God.

NLTNew Living Translation

But I will call on God,

and the Lord will rescue me.

Morning, noon, and night

I cry out in my distress,

and the Lord hears my voice.

He ransoms me and keeps me safe

from the battle waged against me,

though many still oppose me.

God, who has ruled forever,

will hear me and humble them.

Interlude

For my enemies refuse to change their ways;

they do not fear God.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

As for me, I will call to God,

and Yahweh will save me.

Morning, noon and night I will lament and groan loudly,

and he will hear my voice.

He safely redeems my life from the battle against me,

because those standing against me are among many.

God will hear and answer them,

he who is enthroned from of old, Selah

Because they do not change,

and they do not fear God.

KJV 1900King James Version

As for me, I will call upon God;

And the Lord shall save me.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:

And he shall hear my voice.

He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me:

For there were many with me.

God shall hear, and afflict them,

Even he that abideth of old. Selah.

Because they have no changes,

Therefore they fear not God.
