- 1. I am the man, that hath seene affliction in the rod of his indignation.
- 2. He hath ledde mee, and brought me into darkenes, but not to light.
- 3. Surely he is turned against me: he turneth his hand against me all the day.
- 4. My flesh and my skinne hath he caused to waxe olde, and he hath broken my bones.
- 5. He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall, and labour.
- 6. He hath set me in darke places, as they that be dead for euer.
- 7. He hath hedged about mee, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chaines heauy.
- 8. Also when I cry and showte, hee shutteth out my prayer.
- 9. He hath stopped vp my wayes with hewen stone, and turned away my paths.
- 10. He was vnto me as a beare lying in waite, and as a Lion in secret places.
- 11. He hath stopped my wayes, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
- 12. He hath bent his bow & made me a marke for the arrow.
- 13. Hee caused the arrowes of his quiuer to enter into my reines.
- 14. I was a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
- 15. He hath filled me with bitternes, & made me drunken with wormewood.
- 16. He hath also broken my teeth with stones, and hath couered me with ashes.
- 17. Thus my soule was farre off from peace: I forgate prosperitie,
- 18. And I saide, My strength & mine hope is perished from the Lord,
- 19. Remembring mine affliction, & my mourning, the wormewood and the gall.
- 20. My soule hath them in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
- 21. I consider this in mine heart: therefore haue I hope.
- 22. It is the Lordes mercies that wee are not consumed, because his compassions faile not.
- 23. They are renued euery morning: great is thy faithfulnesse.
- 24. The Lorde is my portion, sayth my soule: therefore wil I hope in him.
- 25. The Lord is good vnto them, that trust in him, and to the soule that seeketh him.
- 26. It is good both to trust, and to waite for the saluation of the Lord.
- 27. It is good for a man that he beare the yoke in his youth.
- 28. He sitteth alone, and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it vpon him.
- 29. He putteth his mouth in the dust, if there may be hope.
- 30. Hee giueth his cheeke to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproches.
- 31. For the Lord will not forsake for euer.
- 32. But though he sende affliction, yet will he haue compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
- 33. For he doeth not punish willingly, nor afflict the children of men,
- 34. In stamping vnder his feete all the prisoners of the earth,
- 35. In ouerthrowing the right of a man before the face of the most high,
- 36. In subuerting a man in his cause: the Lord seeth it not.
- 37. Who is he then that sayth, & it commeth to passe, and the Lord commandeth it not?
- 38. Out of the mouth of the most high proceedeth not euill and good?
- 39. Wherefore then is the liuing man sorowfull? man suffreth for his sinne.
- 40. Let vs search and try our wayes, and turne againe to the Lord.
- 41. Let vs lift vp our hearts with our handes vnto God in the heauens.
- 42. We haue sinned, and haue rebelled, therefore thou hast not spared.
- 43. Thou hast couered vs with wrath, and persecuted vs: thou hast slaine and not spared.
- 44. Thou hast couered thy selfe with a cloude, that our prayer should not passe through.
- 45. Thou hast made vs as the ofscouring and refuse in the middes of the people.
- 46. All our enemies haue opened their mouth against vs.
- 47. Feare, and a snare is come vpon vs with desolation and destruction.
- 48. Mine eye casteth out riuers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
- 49. Mine eye droppeth without stay and ceaseth not,
- 50. Till the Lorde looke downe, and beholde from heauen.
- 51. Mine eye breaketh mine heart because of all the daughters of my citie.
- 52. Mine enemies chased me sore like a birde, without cause.
- 53. They haue shut vp my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone vpon me.
- 54. Waters flowed ouer mine head, then thought I, I am destroyed.
- 55. I called vpon thy Name, O Lorde, out of the lowe dungeon.
- 56. Thou hast heard my voyce: stoppe not thine eare from my sigh and from my cry.
- 57. Thou drewest neere in the day that I called vpon thee: thou saydest, Feare not.
- 58. O Lord, thou hast maintained the cause of my soule, and hast redeemed my life.
- 59. O Lorde, thou hast seene my wrong, iudge thou my cause.
- 60. Thou hast seene all their vengeance, and all their deuises against me.
- 61. Thou hast heard their reproch, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me:
- 62. The lippes also of those that rose against me, and their whispering against me continually.
- 63. Behold, their sitting downe and their rising vp, how I am their song.
- 64. Giue them a recompence, O Lord, according to the worke of their handes.
- 65. Giue them sorow of heart, euen thy curse to them.
- 66. Persecute with wrath & destroy them from vnder the heauen, O Lord.
