ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out;

they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.

But none says, ‘Where is God my Maker,

who gives songs in the night,

who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth

and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“People cry out under a load of oppression;

they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.

But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,

who gives songs in the night,

who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth

and makes us wiser than the birds in the sky?’

CSBChristian Standard Bible

People cry out because of severe oppression;

they shout for help because of the power of the mighty.

But no one asks, “Where is God my Maker,

who provides us with songs in the night,

who gives us more understanding than the animals of the earth

and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?”

NLTNew Living Translation

“People cry out when they are oppressed.

They groan beneath the power of the mighty.

Yet they don’t ask, ‘Where is God my Creator,

the one who gives songs in the night?

Where is the one who makes us smarter than the animals

and wiser than the birds of the sky?’

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Because of the multitude of oppressions, they cry out;

they cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.

But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,

who gives songs in the night,

who teaches us more than the animals of the earth

and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’

KJV 1900King James Version

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry:

They cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

But none saith, Where is God my maker,

Who giveth songs in the night;

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,

And maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
