      | ¶ | [[To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of David.]] Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul. | |
 | I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. | ||
| I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. | ||
| 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. | ||
| O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. | ||
| I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. | ||
| For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. | ||
| When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. | ||
| I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. | ||
| They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the song of the drunkards. | ||
| 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. | ||
  | 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. | ||
| Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. | ||
| Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. | ||
| And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. | ||
| Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies. | ||
| Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee. | ||
| 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. | ||
| They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. | ||
| Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap. | ||
| Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. | ||
| Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. | ||
| Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in their tents. | ||
| For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. | ||
| Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. | ||
| Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. | ||
| But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. | ||
| I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. | ||
| [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs. | ||
| The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. | ||
| For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. | ||
| Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. | ||
| For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. | ||
| The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein. |
