| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1I am the man who has experienced affliction from the rod of his wrath. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He drove me into captivity and made me walk in darkness and not light. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He repeatedly attacks me, he turns his hand against me all day long. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4He has made my mortal skin waste away; he has broken my bones. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5He has besieged and surrounded me with bitter hardship. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6He has made me reside in deepest darkness like those who died long ago. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7He has walled me in so that I cannot get out; he has weighted me down with heavy prison chains. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Also, when I cry out desperately for help, he has shut out my prayer. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9He has blocked every road I take with a wall of hewn stones; he has made every path impassable. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10To me he is like a bear lying in ambush, like a hidden lion stalking its prey. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11He has obstructed my paths and torn me to pieces; he has made me desolate. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrow. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13He shot his arrows into my heart. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I have become the laughingstock of all people, their mocking song all day long. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15He has given me my fill of bitter herbs and made me drunk with bitterness. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16He ground my teeth in gravel; he trampled me in the dust. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17I am deprived of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18So I said, "My endurance has expired; I have lost all hope of deliverance from the LORD." |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Remember my impoverished and homeless condition, which is a bitter poison. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20I continually think about this, and I am depressed. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21But this I call to mind; therefore I have hope: |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22The LORD's loyal kindness never ceases; his compassions never end. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23They are fresh every morning; your faithfulness is abundant! |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24"My portion is the Lord," I have said to myself, so I will put my hope in him. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25The LORD is good to those who trust in him, to the one who seeks him. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26It is good to wait patiently for deliverance from the LORD. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Let a person sit alone in silence, when the LORD is disciplining him. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Let him bury his face in the dust; perhaps there is hope. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Let him offer his cheek to the one who hits him; let him have his fill of insults. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31For the Lord will not reject us forever. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Though he causes us grief, he then has compassion on us according to the abundance of his loyal kindness. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33For he is not predisposed to afflict or to grieve people. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34To crush underfoot all the earth's prisoners, |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35to deprive a person of his rights in the presence of the Most High, |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36to defraud a person in a lawsuit--the Lord does not approve of such things! |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37Whose command was ever fulfilled unless the Lord decreed it? |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that everything comes--both calamity and blessing? |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39Why should any living person complain when punished for his sins? |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40Let us carefully examine our ways, and let us return to the LORD. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven: |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42"We have blatantly rebelled; you have not forgiven." |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43You shrouded yourself with anger and then pursued us; you killed without mercy. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44You shrouded yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45You make us like filthy scum in the estimation of the nations. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46All our enemies have gloated over us; |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47Panic and pitfall have come upon us, devastation and destruction. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed. |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49Tears flow from my eyes and will not stop; there will be no break |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees what has happened. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51What my eyes see grieves me--all the suffering of the daughters in my city. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52For no good reason my enemies hunted me down like a bird. |
| 53[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 53They shut me up in a pit and threw stones at me. |
| 54[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 54The waters closed over my head; I thought I was about to die. |
| 55[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 55I have called on your name, O LORD, from the deepest pit. |
| 56[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 56You heard my plea: "Do not close your ears to my cry for relief!" |
| 57[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 57You came near on the day I called to you; you said, "Do not fear!" |
| 58[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 58O Lord, you championed my cause, you redeemed my life. |
| 59[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 59You have seen the wrong done to me, O LORD; pronounce judgment on my behalf! |
| 60[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 60You have seen all their vengeance, all their plots against me. |
| 61[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 61You have heard their taunts, O LORD, all their plots against me. |
| 62[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 62My assailants revile and conspire against me all day long. |
| 63[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 63Watch them from morning to evening; I am the object of their mocking songs. |
| 64[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 64Pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to what they have done. |
| 65[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 65Give them a distraught heart; may your curse be on them! |
| 66[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 66Pursue them in anger and eradicate them from under the LORD's heaven. |
