And 1crush them with twofold 2crushing!

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;

save me, and I shall be saved,

for you are my praise.

Behold, they say to me,

“Where is the word of the Lord?

Let it come!”

I have not run away from being your shepherd,

nor have I desired the day of sickness.

You know what came out of my lips;

it was before your face.

Be not a terror to me;

you are my refuge in the day of disaster.

Let those be put to shame who persecute me,

but let me not be put to shame;

let them be dismayed,

but let me not be dismayed;

bring upon them the day of disaster;

destroy them with double destruction!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;

save me and I will be saved,

for you are the one I praise.

They keep saying to me,

“Where is the word of the Lord?

Let it now be fulfilled!”

I have not run away from being your shepherd;

you know I have not desired the day of despair.

What passes my lips is open before you.

Do not be a terror to me;

you are my refuge in the day of disaster.

Let my persecutors be put to shame,

but keep me from shame;

let them be terrified,

but keep me from terror.

Bring on them the day of disaster;

destroy them with double destruction.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;

save me, and I will be saved,

for you are my praise.

Hear how they keep challenging me,

“Where is the word of the Lord?

Let it come!”

But I have not run away from being your shepherd,

and I have not longed for the fatal day.

You know my words were spoken in your presence.

Don’t become a terror to me.

You are my refuge in the day of disaster.

Let my persecutors be put to shame,

but don’t let me be put to shame.

Let them be terrified, but don’t let me be terrified.

Bring on them the day of disaster;

shatter them with total destruction.

NLTNew Living Translation

O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed;

if you save me, I will be truly saved.

My praises are for you alone!

People scoff at me and say,

“What is this ‘message from the Lord’ you talk about?

Why don’t your predictions come true?”

Lord, I have not abandoned my job

as a shepherd for your people.

I have not urged you to send disaster.

You have heard everything I’ve said.

Lord, don’t terrorize me!

You alone are my hope in the day of disaster.

Bring shame and dismay on all who persecute me,

but don’t let me experience shame and dismay.

Bring a day of terror on them.

Yes, bring double destruction upon them!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed,

save me, and I will be saved,

for you are my praise.

Look, they are saying to me,

“Where is the word of Yahweh?

Please let it come.”

But I, I have not run away from being a shepherd who follows you,

and I have not desired the disastrous day.

You, you know the pronouncement of my lips,

it was before your face.

You must not become to me a terror,

you are my refuge in the day of disaster.

Let my persecutors be put to shame,

but as for me, do not let me be put to shame.

Let them be dismayed,

but as for me, do not let me be dismayed.

Bring on them the day of disaster,

and with double destruction, destroy them.

KJV 1900King James Version

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now. As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee. Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
