| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the choir director; according to Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5O God, it is You who knows my folly, And my wrongs are not hidden from You. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8I have become estranged from my brothers And 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 in 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] | 12Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And I am the song of the drunkards. |
| 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 greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with Your saving truth. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit shut its mouth on me. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Answer me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me, |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Oh draw near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies! |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor; All my adversaries are before You. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick. And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, And for comforters, but I found none. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21They also gave me gall for my food And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22May their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, may it become a trap. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their loins shake continually. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your burning anger overtake them. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25May their camp be desolate; May none dwell in their tents. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself have smitten, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Add iniquity to their iniquity, And may they not come into Your righteousness. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28May they be blotted out of the book of life And may they not be recorded with the righteous. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, O God, set me securely on high. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30I will praise the name of God with song And magnify Him with thanksgiving. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31And it will please the LORD better than an ox Or a young bull with horns and hoofs. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32The humble have seen it and are glad; You who seek God, let your heart revive. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33For the LORD hears the needy And does not despise His 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 the cities of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36The descendants of His servants will inherit it, And those who love His name will dwell in it. |
