Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. |
2
|
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. |
3
|
I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. |
4
|
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away. |
5
|
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. |
6
|
Let not them that wait on thee be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts: let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonour through me, O God of Israel. |
7
|
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. |
8
|
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother-s children. |
9
|
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me. |
10
|
When I wept, {cf15i and chastened} my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. |
11
|
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a proverb unto them. |
12
|
They that sit in the gate talk of me; and {cf15i I am} the song of the drunkards. |
13
|
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy, answer me in the truth of thy salvation. |
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. |
15
|
Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. |
16
|
Answer me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me. |
17
|
And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily. |
18
|
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: ransom me because of mine enemies. |
19
|
Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee. |
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. |
21
|
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. |
22
|
Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, {cf15i let it become} a trap. |
23
|
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. |
24
|
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them. |
25
|
Let their habitation be desolate; let none dwell in their tents. |
26
|
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded, |
27
|
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. |
28
|
Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous. |
29
|
But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. |
30
|
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. |
31
|
And it shall please the LORD better than an ox, {cf15i or} a bullock that hath horns and hoofs. |
32
|
The meek have seen it, and are glad: ye that seek after God, let your heart live. |
33
|
For the LORD heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners. |
34
|
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. |
35
|
For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide there, and have it in possession. |
36
|
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein. |
