| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Save me, O God, for the floodwaters are up to my neck. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire; I can’t find a foothold. I am in deep water, and the floods overwhelm me. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3I am exhausted from crying for help; my throat is parched. My eyes are swollen with weeping, waiting for my God to help me. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs on my head. Many enemies try to destroy me with lies, demanding that I give back what I didn’t steal. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Don’t let those who trust in you be ashamed because of me, O Sovereign LORD of Heaven’s Armies. Don’t let me cause them to be humiliated, O God of Israel. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For I endure insults for your sake; humiliation is written all over my face. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Even my own brothers pretend they don’t know me; they treat me like a stranger. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Passion for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10When I weep and fast, they scoff at me. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11When I dress in burlap to show sorrow, they make fun of me. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I am the favorite topic of town gossip, and all the drunks sing about me. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But I keep praying to you, LORD, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Rescue me from the mud; don’t let me sink any deeper! Save me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Don’t let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Answer my prayers, O LORD, for your unfailing love is wonderful. Take care of me, for your mercy is so plentiful. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Don’t hide from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in deep trouble! |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Come and redeem me; free me from my enemies. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19You know of my shame, scorn, and disgrace. You see all that my enemies are doing. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Their insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. If only one person would show some pity; if only one would turn and comfort me. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21But instead, they give me poison for food; they offer me sour wine for my thirst. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Let the bountiful table set before them become a snare and their prosperity become a trap. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see, and make their bodies shake continually. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Pour out your fury on them; consume them with your burning anger. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Let their homes become desolate and their tents be deserted. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26To the one you have punished, they add insult to injury; they add to the pain of those you have hurt. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Pile their sins up high, and don’t let them go free. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Erase their names from the Book of Life; don’t let them be counted among the righteous. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29I am suffering and in pain. Rescue me, O God, by your saving power. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Then I will praise God’s name with singing, and I will honor him with thanksgiving. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31For this will please the LORD more than sacrificing cattle, more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33For the LORD hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Praise him, O heaven and earth, the seas and all that move in them. |
