1¶ I am a man that sees affliction in the rod of his wrath.
2He has led me and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3Surely he is turned against me; he turns his hand against me all the day.
4My flesh and my skin he has made old; he has broken my bones.
5He has built against me and compassed me with gall and travail.
6He has set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever.
7He has hedged me about that I cannot get out; he has made my chain heavy.
8Even when I cried and shouted, he shut out my prayer.
9He has enclosed my ways with hewn stone; he has made my paths crooked.
10He was unto me as a bear lying in wait and as a lion in secret places.
11He has made my ways crooked and pulled me in pieces; he has made me desolate.
12He has bent his bow and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13He has caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
14I was a derision to all my people and their song every day.
15He has filled me with bitterness, he has made me drunk with wormwood.
16He has broken my teeth with gravel stones; he has covered me with ashes.
17My soul removed itself far from peace; I forgot about good.
18And I said, My strength and my hope of the Lord is perished.
19Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20My soul shall have them still in remembrance because it is humbled in me.
21¶ This shall go down into my heart; therefore I shall wait.
22It is of the Lord ’s mercies that we are not consumed because his mercies never diminish.
23They are new every morning; great is thy faith.
24The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore I will wait for him.
25The Lord is good unto those that wait in him, to the soul that seeks him.
26It is good to wait quietly in the salvation of the Lord .
27It is good for the man if he bears the yoke from his youth.
28He shall sit alone and keep silence because he has borne it upon him.
29He shall put his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30He shall turn his cheek unto him that smites him; he shall be filled with reproach.
31For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
32But though he causes grief, yet he will also have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33For he does not afflict nor grieve the sons of men from his heart.
34To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
35To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord does not approve.
37¶ Mem Who shall he be that saith that something comes which the Lord has not sent?
38Out of the mouth of the most High proceeds not evil and good?
39Why does the living man have pain, the man in his sins?
40Let us search out our ways, and seek, and turn again to the Lord .
41Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42¶ We have rebelled and been disloyal; therefore thou hast not forgiven.
43Thou hast unfurled anger and persecuted us; thou hast slain, thou hast not forgiven.
44Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud that our prayer should not pass through.
45Thou hast made us as the offscouring and abomination in the midst of the peoples.
46All our enemies have opened their mouths upon us.
47Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48My eyes stream with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49My eyes run down, and cease not, for there is no relief,
50Until the Lord looks down, and beholds from the heavens.
51My eyes make my soul sad because of all the daughters of my city.
52My enemies hunted me like a bird, without cause.
53They bound up my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am dead.
55¶ I called upon thy name, O Lord , out of the low dungeon.
56Thou hast heard my voice; do not hide thine ear at my cry that I might breath.
57Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou didst say, Fear not.
58O Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
59O Lord , thou hast seen where I was wrong; plead thou my cause.
60Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord , and all their imaginations against me;
62The words of those that rose up against me, and their design against me all the day.
63Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music.
64Render unto them a recompense, O Lord , according to the work of their hands.
65Give them sorrow of heart; thy curse unto them.
66Persecute them in thy anger and cut them off from under the heavens, oh Lord .
