ESVEnglish Standard Version

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;

light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”

lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

But I have trusted in your steadfast love;

my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

I will sing to the Lord,

because he has dealt bountifully with me.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Look on me and answer, Lord my God.

Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”

and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love;

my heart rejoices in your salvation.

I will sing the Lord’s praise,

for he has been good to me.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Consider me and answer, Lord my God.

Restore brightness to my eyes;

otherwise, I will sleep in death.

My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,”

and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

But I have trusted in your faithful love;

my heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

I will sing to the Lord

because he has treated me generously.

NLTNew Living Translation

Turn and answer me, O Lord my God!

Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.

Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!”

Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.

But I trust in your unfailing love.

I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

I will sing to the Lord

because he is good to me.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Consider and answer me, O Yahweh my God.

Give light to my eyes

lest I sleep the sleep of death,

and lest my enemy should say, “I have overcome him,”

lest my enemies rejoice because I am shaken.

But as for me, I have trusted in your steadfast love.

My heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

I will sing to Yahweh

because he has dealt bountifully with me.
