1 # I am the man <01397> that hath seen <07200> (8804) affliction <06040> by the rod <07626> of his wrath <05678>.
2 He hath led <05090> (8804) me, and brought <03212> (8686) me into darkness <02822>, but not into light <0216>.
3 Surely against me is he turned <07725> (8799); he turneth <02015> (8799) his hand <03027> against me all the day <03117>.
4 My flesh <01320> and my skin <05785> hath he made old <01086> (8765); he hath broken <07665> (8765) my bones <06106>.
5 He hath builded against <01129> (8804) me, and compassed <05362> (8686) me with gall <07219> and travail <08513>.
6 He hath set <03427> (8689) me in dark places <04285>, as they that be dead <04191> (8801) of old <05769>.
7 He hath hedged <01443> (8804) me about, that I cannot get out <03318> (8799): he hath made my chain <05178> heavy <03513> (8689).
8 Also when I cry <02199> (8799) and shout <07768> (8762), he shutteth out <05640> (8804) my prayer <08605>.
9 He hath inclosed <01443> (8804) my ways <01870> with hewn stone <01496>, he hath made my paths <05410> crooked <05753> (8765).
10 He was unto me as a bear <01677> lying in wait <0693> (8802), and as a lion <0738> in secret places <04565>.
11 He hath turned aside <05493> (8790) my ways <01870>, and pulled me in pieces <06582> (8762): he hath made <07760> (8804) me desolate <08074> (8802).
12 He hath bent <01869> (8804) his bow <07198>, and set <05324> (8686) me as a mark <04307> for the arrow <02671>.
13 He hath caused the arrows <01121> of his quiver <0827> to enter <0935> (8689) into my reins <03629>.
14 I was a derision <07814> to all my people <05971>; and their song <05058> all the day <03117>.
15 He hath filled <07646> (8689) me with bitterness <04844>, he hath made me drunken <07301> (8689) with wormwood <03939>.
16 He hath also broken <01638> (8686) my teeth <08127> with gravel stones <02687>, he hath covered <03728> (8689) me with ashes <0665>.
17 And thou hast removed <02186> <00> my soul <05315> far off <02186> (8799) from peace <07965>: I forgat <05382> (8804) prosperity <02896>.
18 And I said <0559> (8799), My strength <05331> and my hope <08431> is perished <06> (8804) from the LORD <03068>:
19 Remembering <02142> (8798) mine affliction <06040> and my misery <04788>, the wormwood <03939> and the gall <07219>.
20 My soul <05315> hath them still <02142> (8800) in remembrance <02142> (8799), and is humbled <07743> (8686) in me.
21 # This I recall <07725> (8686) to my mind <03820>, therefore have I hope <03176> (8686).
22 It is of the LORD'S <03068> mercies <02617> that we are not consumed <08552> (8804), because his compassions <07356> fail <03615> (8804) not.
23 They are new <02319> every morning <01242>: great <07227> is thy faithfulness <0530>.
24 The LORD <03068> is my portion <02506>, saith <0559> (8804) my soul <05315>; therefore will I hope <03176> (8686) in him.
25 The LORD <03068> is good <02896> unto them that wait <06960> (8802) for him, to the soul <05315> that seeketh <01875> (8799) him.
26 It is good <02896> that a man should both hope <03175> (8675) <02342> (8799) and quietly wait <01748> for the salvation <08668> of the LORD <03068>.
27 It is good <02896> for a man <01397> that he bear <05375> (8799) the yoke <05923> in his youth <05271>.
28 He sitteth <03427> (8799) alone <0910> and keepeth silence <01826> (8799), because he hath borne <05190> (8804) it upon him.
29 He putteth <05414> (8799) his mouth <06310> in the dust <06083>; if so be there may be <03426> hope <08615>.
30 He giveth <05414> (8799) his cheek <03895> to him that smiteth <05221> (8688) him: he is filled full <07646> (8799) with reproach <02781>.
31 For the Lord <0136> will not cast off <02186> (8799) for ever <05769>:
32 But though he cause grief <03013> (8689), yet will he have compassion <07355> (8765) according to the multitude <07230> of his mercies <02617>.
33 For he doth not afflict <06031> (8765) willingly <03820> nor grieve <03013> (8762) the children <01121> of men <0376>.
34 To crush <01792> (8763) under his feet <07272> all the prisoners <0615> of the earth <0776>,
35 To turn aside <05186> (8687) the right <04941> of a man <01397> before the face <06440> of the most High <05945>,
36 To subvert <05791> (8763) a man <0120> in his cause <07379>, the Lord <0136> approveth <07200> (8804) not.
37 # Who is he that saith <0559> (8804), and it cometh to pass, when the Lord <0136> commandeth <06680> (8765) it not?
38 Out of the mouth <06310> of the most High <05945> proceedeth <03318> (8799) not evil <07451> and good <02896>?
39 Wherefore doth a living <02416> man <0120> complain <0596> (8691), a man <01397> for the punishment of his sins <02399>?
40 Let us search <02664> (8799) and try <02713> (8799) our ways <01870>, and turn again <07725> (8799) to the LORD <03068>.
41 Let us lift up <05375> (8799) our heart <03824> with our hands <03709> unto God <0410> in the heavens <08064>.
42 # We <05168> have transgressed <06586> (8804) and have rebelled <04784> (8804): thou hast not pardoned <05545> (8804).
43 Thou hast covered <05526> (8804) with anger <0639>, and persecuted <07291> (8799) us: thou hast slain <02026> (8804), thou hast not pitied <02550> (8804).
44 Thou hast covered <05526> (8804) thyself with a cloud <06051>, that our prayer <08605> should not pass through <05674> (8800).
45 Thou hast made <07760> (8799) us as the offscouring <05501> and refuse <03973> in the midst <07130> of the people <05971>.
46 All our enemies <0341> (8802) have opened <06475> (8804) their mouths <06310> against us.
47 Fear <06343> and a snare <06354> is come upon us, desolation <07612> and destruction <07667>.
48 Mine eye <05869> runneth down <03381> (8799) with rivers <06388> of water <04325> for the destruction <07667> of the daughter <01323> of my people <05971>.
49 Mine eye <05869> trickleth down <05064> (8738), and ceaseth <01820> (8799) not, without any intermission <02014>,
50 Till the LORD <03068> look down <08259> (8686), and behold <07200> (8799) from heaven <08064>.
51 Mine eye <05869> affecteth <05953> (8782) mine heart <05315> because of all the daughters <01323> of my city <05892>.
52 Mine enemies <0341> (8802) chased <06679> (8804) me sore <06679> (8800), like a bird <06833>, without cause <02600>.
53 They have cut off <06789> (8804) my life <02416> in the dungeon <0953>, and cast <03034> (8762) a stone <068> upon me.
54 Waters <04325> flowed over <06687> (8804) mine head <07218>; then I said <0559> (8804), I am cut off <01504> (8738).
55 # I called <07121> (8804) upon thy name <08034>, O LORD <03068>, out of the low <08482> dungeon <0953>.
56 Thou hast heard <08085> (8804) my voice <06963>: hide <05956> (8686) not thine ear <0241> at my breathing <07309>, at my cry <07775>.
57 Thou drewest near <07126> (8804) in the day <03117> that I called <07121> (8799) upon thee: thou saidst <0559> (8804), Fear <03372> (8799) not.
58 O Lord <0136>, thou hast pleaded <07378> (8804) the causes <07379> of my soul <05315>; thou hast redeemed <01350> (8804) my life <02416>.
59 O LORD <03068>, thou hast seen <07200> (8804) my wrong <05792>: judge <08199> (8798) thou my cause <04941>.
60 Thou hast seen <07200> (8804) all their vengeance <05360> and all their imaginations <04284> against me.
61 Thou hast heard <08085> (8804) their reproach <02781>, O LORD <03068>, and all their imaginations <04284> against me;
62 The lips <08193> of those that rose up <06965> (8801) against me, and their device <01902> against me all the day <03117>.
63 Behold <05027> (8685) their sitting down <03427> (8800), and their rising up <07012>; I am their musick <04485>.
64 Render <07725> (8686) unto them a recompence <01576>, O LORD <03068>, according to the work <04639> of their hands <03027>.
65 Give <05414> (8799) them sorrow <04044> of heart <03820>, thy curse <08381> unto them.
66 Persecute <07291> (8799) and destroy <08045> (8686) them in anger <0639> from under the heavens <08064> of the LORD <03068>.
