- 1. ¶ SAVE me, O God; for the waters are come near to engulf me.
- 2. I sink in deep mire where there is no footing; I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
- 3. I am weary of my crying; my throat is dry; mine eyes fail while I wait for God.
- 4. They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty; then I restored that which I took lawfully.
- 5. O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
- 6. Let not them that trust in thee be ashamed through me, O LORD God of hosts; let not those that seek thee be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.
- 7. Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.
- 8. I am become a stranger to my brethren and an alien to my mother’s children.
- 9. For the zeal of thy house has made me courageous; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
- 10. When I humbled and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
- 11. I made sackcloth also my garment and I became a proverb to them.
- 12. They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was 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 abundance 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 overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the well shut its mouth upon me.
- 16. Answer me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good; turn to me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
- 17. And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble; answer me speedily.
- 18. Draw near to my soul, and redeem it; deliver me because of mine enemies.
- 19. Thou knowest my reproach and my shame, and my dishonour is spread before all mine adversaries.
- 20. O thou, heal my broken heart and bind it; I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
- 21. They gave me bitter herbs for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
- 22. ¶ Let their table become a snare before them; and that which should have been for their reward, let it become a trap.
- 23. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their backs continually to bend.
- 24. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
- 25. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
- 26. The one which thou hast smitten, they have persecuted; they have added to the grief of him who is wounded.
- 27. Add punishment of iniquity to their iniquity, that they may enter not into thy righteousness.
- 28. Let them be blotted out of thy book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
- 29. But I am poor and sorrowful; let thy salvation help me, O God.
- 30. ¶ I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
- 31. This shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that has horns and hoofs.
- 32. The humble shall see this and be glad; and your heart shall live that seek God.
- 33. For the LORD hears the poor, and despises not his prisoners.
- 34. Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moves therein.
- 35. For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah;
- 36. His servants shall dwell in it and shall inherit it; they that love his name shall dwell therein.
