AFR DVK
2
I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
Ek sink in diepe modder, waar daar geen staanplek is nie: ek is in diepe waters gekom, waar die vloede my oorstroom.
3
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Ek is moeg van my roep: my keel is droog: my oë faal terwyl ek op my God wag.
4
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away.
Dié wat my sonder oorsaak haat, is meer as die hare van my hoof: dié wat my sou vernietig, en my vyande sonder oorsaak is, is magtig: toe het ek teruggegee wat ek nie geneem het nie.
5
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
O God, U weet my dwaasheid; en my sondes is nie van U verborge nie.
6
Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
Laat nie dié wat op U wag, o Here HERE van leërskare, om my ontwil beskaamd word nie: laat nie dié wat U soek, om my ontwil tot skande gebring word, o God van Israel nie.
7
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
Omdat ek om u ontwil smaad gedra het; skaamte het my aangesig bedek.
8
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
Ek is ‚'n vreemdeling vir my broers geword, en ‚'n uitlander vir my moeder se kinders.
9
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
Want die ywer vir u huis het my verteer; en die smaadhede van dié wat U smaad, is op my geval.
10
When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
Toe ek geween en my siel met vas getugtig het, was dit tot my smaad.
11
I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
Ek het ook rouklere as my kleed gemaak; en ek het vir hulle ‚'n spreekwoord geword.
12
They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the song of the drunkards.
Dié wat in die poort sit, spreek teen my; en ek was die lied van die dronkaards.
13
But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in] an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
Maar wat my betref, my gebed is tot U, o HERE, in ‚'n aangename tyd: o God, in die menigte van u barmhartigheid hoor my, in die waarheid van u heil.
14
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
Red my uit die modder, en laat my nie sink nie: laat my verlos word van dié wat my haat, en uit die diepe waters.
15
Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Laat nie die wateroorstroming my oorstroom nie, en laat nie die diepte my verslind nie, en laat nie die put sy mond oor my toesluit nie.
16
Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
Hoor my, o HERE; want u liefde is goed: keer tot my volgens die menigte van u tedere barmhartighede.
17
And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
En verberg nie u aangesig van u dienaar nie; want ek is in benoudheid: hoor my haastig.
18
Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
Trek naby tot my siel, en verlos dit: verlos my vanweë my vyande.
19
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.
U het my smaad, en my skande, en my oneer geken: my teëstanders is almal voor U.
20
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for comforters, but I found none.
Smaad het my hart verbreek; en ek is vol van hewigheid: en ek het vir sommige gesoek om medelye te hê, maar daar was niemand nie; en vir vertroosters, maar ek het geen gevind nie.
21
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Hulle het my ook gal tot my voedsel gegee; en in my dors het hulle my asyn te drink gegee.
22
Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap.
Laat hulle tafel voor hulle ‚'n strik word: en dit wat welbehaaglik vir hulle sou wees, ‚'n valstrik.
23
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
Laat hulle oë verduister word, dat hulle nie sien nie; en maak hulle lendene voortdurend bewe.
24
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
Stort u verontwaardiging op hulle uit, en laat u toornige toorn hulle aangryp.
25
Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in their tents.
Laat hulle woning verwoes word; en laat niemand in hulle tente woon nie.
26
For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
Want hulle vervolg hom wat U geslaan het; en hulle praat tot die smart van dié wat U verwond het.
27
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
Voeg ongeregtigheid by hulle ongeregtigheid: en laat hulle nie in u geregtigheid kom nie.
28
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
Laat hulle uitgewis word uit die boek van die lewendes, en nie met die regverdiges geskrywe word nie.
29
But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
Maar ek is arm en bedroef: laat u heil, o God, my op ’n hoë plek sit.
30
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
Ek sal die Naam van God met ‚'n lied prys, en Hom met danksegging verhoog.
31
[This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
Dit sal die HERE ook beter behaag as ‚'n os of bul wat horings en kloue het.
32
The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
Die nederige sal dit sien, en vrolik wees: en julle hart sal lewe wat God soek.
33
For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
Want die HERE hoor die armes, en verag nie sy gevangenes nie.
34
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
Laat die hemel en aarde Hom prys, die see, en alles wat daarin beweeg.
35
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
Want God sal Sion red, en die stede van Juda bou: dat hulle daar mag woon, en dit in besit mag neem.
36
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
Die saad ook van sy dienaars sal dit erf: en dié wat sy Naam liefhet, sal daarin woon.
