1
I am the man
who has seen
affliction
Because of the rod
of His wrath.
2
He has driven
me and made me walk
In darkness
and not in light.
3
Surely
against me He has turned
His hand
Repeatedly
all
the day.
4
He has caused my flesh
and my skin
to waste away,
He has broken
my bones.
5
He has besieged
and encompassed
me with bitterness
and hardship.
6
In dark places
He has made me dwell,
Like those who have long
been dead.
7
He has walled
me in so that I cannot
go
out; He has made
my chain
heavy.
8
Even
when
I cry
out and call for help,
He shuts
out my prayer.
9
He has blocked
my ways
with hewn stone;
He has made
my paths
crooked.
10
He is to me like a bear
lying in wait,
Like a lion
in secret places.
11
He has turned aside
my ways
and torn me to pieces;
He has made me desolate.
12
He bent
His bow
And set
me as a target
for the arrow.
13
He made the arrows
of His quiver
To enter
into my inward parts.
14
I have become
a laughingstock
to
all
my people,
Their mocking song
all
the day.
15
He has filled
me with bitterness,
He has made me drunk
with wormwood.
16
He has broken
my teeth
with gravel;
He has made me cower
in the dust.
17
My soul
has been rejected
from peace;
I have forgotten
happiness.
18
So I say,
"My strength
has perished,
And so has my hope
from the LORD."
19
Remember
my affliction
and my wandering,
the wormwood
and bitterness.
20
Surely
my soul
remembers
And is bowed down
within
me.
21
This
I recall
to my mind,
Therefore
I have hope.
22
The LORD'S
lovingkindnesses
indeed
never
cease,
For His compassions
never
fail.
23
They are new
every morning;
Great
is Your faithfulness.
24
"The LORD
is my portion,"
says
my soul,
"Therefore
I have hope
in Him."
25
The LORD
is good
to those who wait
for Him, To the person
who seeks
Him.
26
It is good
that he waits
silently
For the salvation
of the LORD.
27
It is good
for a man
that he should bear
The yoke
in his youth.
28
Let him sit
alone
and be silent
Since
He has laid
it on him.
29
Let him put
his mouth
in the dust,
Perhaps
there
is hope.
30
Let him give
his cheek
to the smiter,
Let him be filled
with reproach.
31
For the Lord
will not reject
forever,
32
For if
He causes grief,
Then He will have compassion
According to His abundant
lovingkindness.
33
For He does not afflict
willingly
Or grieve
the sons
of men.
34
To crush
under
His feet
All
the prisoners
of the land,
35
To deprive
a man
of justice
In the presence
of the Most High,
36
To defraud
a man
in his lawsuit--
Of these things the Lord
does not approve.
37
Who
is there
who speaks
and it comes to pass,
Unless
the Lord
has commanded
it?
38
Is it not from the mouth
of the Most High
That both good
and ill
go forth?
39
Why
should any living
mortal,
or any man,
Offer complaint
in view
of his sins?
40
Let us examine
and probe
our ways,
And let us return
to the LORD.
41
We lift
up our heart
and hands
Toward
God
in heaven;
42
We have transgressed
and rebelled,
You have not pardoned.
43
You have covered
Yourself with anger
And pursued
us; You have slain
and have not spared.
44
You have covered
Yourself with a cloud
So that no
prayer
can pass through.
45
You have made
us mere offscouring
and refuse
In the midst
of the peoples.
46
All
our enemies
have opened
their mouths
against
us.
47
Panic
and pitfall
have befallen
us, Devastation
and destruction;
48
My eyes
run down
with streams
of water
Because
of the destruction
of the daughter
of my people.
49
My eyes
pour down
unceasingly,
Without
stopping,
50
Until
the LORD
looks down
And sees
from heaven.
51
My eyes
bring pain
to my soul
Because
of all
the daughters
of my city.
52
My enemies
without cause
Hunted
me down
like a bird;
53
They have silenced
me in the pit
And have placed
a stone
on me.
54
Waters
flowed
over
my head;
I said,
"I am cut off!"
55
I called
on Your name,
O LORD,
Out of the lowest
pit.
56
You have heard
my voice,
"Do not hide
Your ear
from my prayer for relief,
From my cry for help."
57
You drew near
when
I called
on You; You said,
"Do not fear!"
58
O Lord,
You have pleaded
my soul's
cause;
You have redeemed
my life.
59
O LORD,
You have seen
my oppression;
Judge
my case.
60
You have seen
all
their vengeance,
All
their schemes
against me.
61
You have heard
their reproach,
O LORD,
All
their schemes
against
me.
62
The lips
of my assailants
and their whispering
Are against
me all
day
long.
63
Look
on their sitting
and their rising;
I am their mocking song.
64
You will recompense
them, O LORD,
According to the work
of their hands.
65
You will give
them hardness
of heart,
Your curse
will be on them.
66
You will pursue
them in anger
and destroy
them From under
the heavens
of the LORD!
