| [an error occurred while processing this directive] | English Standard Version |
| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies. What I did not steal must I now restore? |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach, that dishonor has covered my face. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s sons. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10When I wept and humbled my soul with fasting, it became my reproach. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I am the talk of those who sit in the gate, and the drunkards make songs about me. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Deliver me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in distress; make haste to answer me. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Draw near to my soul, redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies! |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19You know my reproach, and my shame and my dishonor; my foes are all known to you. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Reproaches have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Let their own table before them become a snare; and when they are at peace, let it become a trap. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and make their loins tremble continually. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your burning anger overtake them. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25May their camp be a desolation; let no one dwell in their tents. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26For they persecute him whom you have struck down, and they recount the pain of those you have wounded. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Add to them punishment upon punishment; may they have no acquittal from you. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; let them not be enrolled among the righteous. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29But I am afflicted and in pain; let your salvation, O God, set me on high! |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31This will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33For the LORD hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35For God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah, and people shall dwell there and possess it; |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36the offspring of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell in it. |
