then I can answer anyone who taunts me, for I trust in your word.

I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.

then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me, for I trust in your word.

I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words.

Then I can answer those who taunt me, for I trust in your word.

I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.

Then I can answer the one who taunts me,  for I trust in your word.

I rise before dawn and cry out for help;  I put my hope in your word.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: For I trust in thy word.

I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, For I trust in Your word.

I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word.

Let your love, GOD, shape my life with salvation, exactly as you promised; Then I’ll be able to stand up to mockery because I trusted your Word. Don’t ever deprive me of truth, not ever— your commandments are what I depend on. Oh, I’ll guard with my life what you’ve revealed to me, guard it now, guard it ever; And I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom; Then I’ll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed. I cherish your commandments—oh, how I love them!— relishing every fragment of your counsel. * * *

I call out at the top of my lungs, “GOD! Answer! I’ll do whatever you say.” I called to you, “Save me so I can carry out all your instructions.” I was up before sunrise, crying for help, hoping for a word from you. I stayed awake all night, prayerfully pondering your promise. In your love, listen to me; in your justice, GOD, keep me alive. As those out to get me come closer and closer, they go farther and farther from the truth you reveal; But you’re the closest of all to me, GOD, and all your judgments true. I’ve known all along from the evidence of your words that you meant them to last forever. * * *

So that I will have an answer for one who taunts me, For I trust in Your word.

I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words.

So I will have an answer for the one who taunts me, For I trust [completely] in Your word [and its reliability].

I rise before dawn and cry [in prayer] for help; I wait for Your word.

Then I will have a reply for the one who insults me, for I trust in your word.

I am up before dawn crying for help. I find hope in your word.
