TO THE CHOIRMASTER: ACCORDING TO LILIES. OF DAVID. Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck. |
2
|
I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. |
3
|
I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God. |
4
|
More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies. What I did not steal must I now restore? |
5
|
O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you. |
6
|
Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel. |
7
|
For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach, that dishonor has covered my face. |
8
|
I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's sons. |
9
|
For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. |
10
|
When I wept and humbled my soul with fasting, it became my reproach. |
11
|
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. |
12
|
I am the talk of those who sit in the gate, and the drunkards make songs about me. |
13
|
But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness. |
14
|
Deliver me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters. |
15
|
Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me. |
16
|
Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. |
17
|
Hide not your face from your servant; for I am in distress; make haste to answer me. |
18
|
Draw near to my soul, redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies! |
19
|
You know my reproach, and my shame and my dishonor; my foes are all known to you. |
20
|
Reproaches have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none. |
21
|
They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink. |
22
|
Let their own table before them become a snare; and when they are at peace, let it become a trap. |
23
|
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and make their loins tremble continually. |
24
|
Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your burning anger overtake them. |
25
|
May their camp be a desolation; let no one dwell in their tents. |
26
|
For they persecute him whom you have struck down, and they recount the pain of those you have wounded. |
27
|
Add to them punishment upon punishment; may they have no acquittal from you. |
28
|
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; let them not be enrolled among the righteous. |
29
|
But I am afflicted and in pain; let your salvation, O God, set me on high! |
30
|
I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. |
31
|
This will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs. |
32
|
When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive. |
33
|
For the LORD hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners. |
34
|
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them. |
35
|
For God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah, and people shall dwell there and possess it; |
36
|
the offspring of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell in it. |
