- 0. To him that excelleth vpon Shoshannim.<br>
A Psalme of Dauid. - 1. Saue mee, O God: for the waters are entred euen to my soule.
- 2. I sticke fast in the deepe myre, where no staie is: I am come into deepe waters, and the streames runne ouer me.
- 3. I am wearie of crying: my throte is drie: mine eyes faile, whiles I waite for my God.
- 4. They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the heares of mine heade: they that would destroy mee, and are mine enemies falsly, are mightie, so that I restored that which I tooke not.
- 5. O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse, and my fautes are not hid from thee.
- 6. Let not them that trust in thee, O Lorde God of hostes, be ashamed for me: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded through mee, O God of Israel.
- 7. For thy sake haue I suffred reproofe: shame hath couered my face.
- 8. I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, euen an aliant vnto my mothers sonnes.
- 9. For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee, and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.
- 10. I wept and my soule fasted, but that was to my reproofe.
- 11. I put on a sacke also: and I became a prouerbe vnto them.
- 12. They that sate in the gate, spake of mee, and the drunkardes sang of me.
- 13. But Lorde, I make my praier vnto thee in an acceptable time, euen in the multitude of thy mercie: O God, heare me in the trueth of thy saluation.
- 14. Deliuer mee out of the myre, that I sinke not: let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.
- 15. Let not the water flood drowne mee, neither let the deepe swallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.
- 16. Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.
- 17. And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.
- 18. Draw neere vnto my soule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.
- 19. Thou hast knowen my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine aduersaries are before thee.
- 20. Rebuke hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heauinesse, and I looked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none.
- 21. For they gaue me gall in my meate, and in my thirst they gaue me vineger to drinke.
- 22. Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.
- 23. Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their loynes alway to tremble.
- 24. Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.
- 25. Let their habitation be voide, and let none dwell in their tents.
- 26. For they persecute him, whome thou hast smitten: and they adde vnto the sorrowe of them, whome thou hast wounded.
- 27. Laie iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.
- 28. Let them be put out of the booke of life, neither let them be written with the righteous.
- 29. When I am poore and in heauinesse, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.
- 30. I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.
- 31. This also shall please the Lord better then a yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.
- 32. The humble shall see this, and they that seeke God, shalbe glad, and your heart shall liue.
- 33. For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.
- 34. Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas and all that moueth in them.
- 35. For God will saue Zion, and builde the cities of Iudah, that men may dwell there and haue it in possession.
- 36. The seede also of his seruants shal inherit it: and they that loue his name, shall dwel therein.
