Save me, O God
, For the awaters
have 1threatened
my life
.
I have sunk in deep
amire
, and there
is no
foothold
; I have come
into deep
waters
, and a 1 bflood
overflows
me.
I am aweary with my crying
; my throat
is parched
; My beyes
fail
while I wait
for my God
.
Those awho hate me without
a cause
are more
than
the hairs
of my head
; Those who would 1destroy
me bare powerful
, being wrongfully
my enemies
; cWhat
I did not steal
, I then
have to restore
.
O God, it is You who knows
amy folly
, And bmy wrongs
are not hidden
from You.
May those who wait for You not abe ashamed
through me, O Lord
1GOD
of hosts
; May those who seek
You not be dishonored
through me, O God
of Israel
,
Because afor Your sake
I have borne
reproach
; bDishonor
has covered
my face
.
I have become
aestranged
1from my brothers
And an alien
to my mother's
sons
.
For azeal for Your house
has consumed
me, And bthe reproaches
of those who reproach
You have fallen
on me.
When I wept ain my soul
with fasting
, It became
my reproach
.
When I made asackcloth
my clothing
, I became
ba byword
to them.
Those who asit in the gate
talk
about me, And I am the 1 bsong
of the drunkards
.
But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD
, aat an acceptable
time
; O God
, in the bgreatness
of Your lovingkindness
, Answer
me with 1Your saving
truth
.
Deliver me from the amire
and do not let me sink
; May I be bdelivered
from 1my foes
and from the 2 adeep
waters
.
May the 1 aflood of water
not overflow
me Nor
the deep
swallow
me up, Nor
the bpit
shut
its mouth
on me.
Answer me, O LORD
, for aYour lovingkindness
is good
; bAccording to the greatness
of Your compassion
, cturn
to me,
And ado not hide Your face
from Your servant
, For I am bin distress
; answer
me quickly
.
Oh draw near
to my soul
and aredeem
it; bRansom
me because
of my enemies
!
You know my areproach
and my shame
and my dishonor
; All
my adversaries
are 1before
You.
Reproach has abroken
my heart
and I am so sick
. And bI looked
for sympathy
, but there
was none
, And for ccomforters
, but I found
none
.
They also gave me 1 agall
2for my food
And for my thirst
they bgave
me vinegar
to drink
.
May atheir table before
them become
a snare
; And 1 bwhen they are in peace
, may it become a trap
.
May their aeyes grow
dim
so
that they cannot
see
, And make their bloins
shake
continually
.
aPour out Your indignation
on them, And may Your burning
anger
overtake
them.
May their 1 acamp be desolate
; May none
dwell
in their tents
.
For they have apersecuted him whom
bYou Yourself
have smitten
, And they tell
of the pain
of those whom cYou have 1wounded
.
Add ainiquity
to their iniquity
, And bmay they not come
into cYour righteousness
.
May they be ablotted out of the bbook
of life
And may they not be 1 crecorded
with the righteous
.
But I am aafflicted and in pain
; 1May Your salvation
, O God
, bset
me securely on high
.
I will apraise the name
of God
with song
And bmagnify
Him with cthanksgiving
.
And it will aplease the LORD
better
than
an ox
Or a young
bull
with horns
and hoofs
.
The ahumble 1have seen
it and are glad
; You who seek
God
, blet your heart
2revive
.
For athe LORD hears
the needy
And bdoes not despise
His who are prisoners
.
Let aheaven and earth
praise
Him, The seas
and beverything
that moves
in them.
For God will asave
Zion
and bbuild
the cities
of Judah
, That they may dwell
there
and cpossess
it.
The 1 adescendants of His servants
will inherit
it, And those who love
His name
bwill dwell
in it.
