Save me, O God ,
for come
have
waters unto the
soul.
Save me, O God ;
for the
waters are
come
in
unto my
soul.

sunk
in deep mire, And
there is no standing ,
I have
come into the
depths
of
the
waters, And
a
flood
hath
overflown
me.
I sink
in deep mire, where
there is no standing :
I am
come into deep
waters, where
the
floods
overflow
me.

been
wearied
with
my calling,
Burnt
hath
been
my throat ,
Consumed
have
been
mine eyes ,
waiting
for my God.
I am
weary
of
my crying:
my throat is
dried:
mine eyes fail
while
I
wait
for my God.
Those
hating
me without cause Have
been
more than the hairs of my
head ,
Mighty
have
been
my
destroyers
, My
lying
enemies, That which I took not away --
I
bring
back
.
They
that
hate
me without a
cause are
more than the hairs of mine
head :
they
that
would
destroy
me
, being
mine
enemies wrongfully
, are
mighty:
then
I
restored
that which I took not away.
O God, Thou --
Thou
hast
known
Concerning
my overturn,
And my desolations
from
Thee
have
not been
hid.
O God, thou knowest
my foolishness;
and my sins
are
not hid from
thee
.
Let not those
waiting
on Thee be
ashamed
because
of
me
, O Lord ,
Jehovah
of Hosts, Let not those seeking
Thee Blush
because
of
me
, O God of Israel.
Let not them
that
wait
on thee, O Lord GOD
of hosts, be
ashamed
for
my

seek
thee be
confounded
for
my
sake
, O God of Israel.
For
because of
Thee
I have borne reproach ,
Shame hath covered my face.
Because for
thy
sake

, And a
foreigner
to
sons
of
my mother
.

alien
unto

Thy
house hath consumed
me ,
And the reproaches of Thy
reproachers
Have
fallen upon me.

zeal of
thine
house hath eaten
me up;
and the reproaches of them
that
reproached
thee
are
fallen upon me.

I weep
in
the
fasting
of
my soul, And
it
is
for
a
reproach
to me
.

I wept,
and
chastened
my soul with
fasting

my
clothing
sackcloth ,

to them for
a
simile
.

sackcloth also
my
garment;

Those
sitting
at
the gate meditate
concerning
me ,
And those
drinking
strong
drink,
Play
on
instruments
.

that
sit
in
the gate speak
against
me ;
and I
was
the
song
of
the
drunkards
.
And
I
--
my prayer `
is '
to
Thee, O Jehovah
, A
time of
good
pleasure,
O God, In the abundance
of Thy kindness,
Answer
me in the truth of Thy salvation.
But
as
for
me,
my prayer is unto
thee, O LORD
, in
an
acceptable
time :
O God, in the multitude
of thy mercy
hear
me ,
in the truth of thy salvation.
Deliver me from
the mire, and let me not sink ,
Let me be delivered from those
hating
me, And from
deep
places
of waters.
Deliver me out
of
the mire, and let me not sink :
let me be delivered from them
that
hate
me, and out
of the
deep
waters.
Let not a
flood
of
waters
overflow me, Nor
let the deep swallow me up, Nor
let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Let not the
waterflood
overflow me, neither
let the deep swallow me up, and
let not
the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Answer
me, O Jehovah,
for good
`is'
Thy kindness,
According to the abundance
Of Thy mercies turn
Thou
unto
me,
Hear
me, O LORD;
for thy lovingkindness
is
good:
turn
unto
me
according to the multitude
of thy tender
mercies .

for a
bemoaner

there is
none ,

I have
found none.

for my food
gall,

is

of
the pain
of Thy
pierced
ones
.

him whom
thou hast smitten ;

talk
to
the grief
of those
whom
thou
hast
wounded

punishment
for
their iniquity ,
And they
enter
not into Thy righteousness.

living

that
love
his name shall
dwell therein.
