Scripture |
| 1 |
I [am] the man [that] hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
|
| 2 |
He hath led me, and brought [me into] darkness, but not [into] light.
|
| 3 |
Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand [against me] all the day.
|
| 4 |
My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
|
| 5 |
He hath builded against me, and compassed [me] with gall and travail.
|
| 6 |
He hath set me in dark places, as [they that be] dead of old.
|
| 7 |
He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
|
| 8 |
Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
|
| 9 |
He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
|
| 10 |
He [was] unto me [as] a bear lying in wait, [and as] a lion in secret places.
|
| 11 |
He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
|
| 12 |
He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
|
| 13 |
He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
|
| 14 |
I was a derision to all my people; [and] their song all the day.
|
| 15 |
He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
|
| 16 |
He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
|
| 17 |
And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
|
| 18 |
And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
|
| 19 |
Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
|
| 20 |
My soul hath [them] still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
|
| 21 |
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
|
| 22 |
[It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
|
| 23 |
[They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness.
|
| 24 |
The LORD [is] my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
|
| 25 |
The LORD [is] good unto them that wait for him, to the soul [that] seeketh him.
|
| 26 |
[It is] good that [a man] should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
|
| 27 |
[It is] good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
|
| 28 |
He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne [it] upon him.
|
| 29 |
He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
|
| 30 |
He giveth [his] cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
|
| 31 |
For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
|
| 32 |
But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
|
| 33 |
For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
|
| 34 |
To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
|
| 35 |
To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
|
| 36 |
To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
|
| 37 |
Who [is] he [that] saith, and it cometh to pass, [when] the Lord commandeth [it] not?
|
| 38 |
Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
|
| 39 |
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
|
| 40 |
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
|
| 41 |
Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens.
|
| 42 |
We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
|
| 43 |
Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
|
| 44 |
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through.
|
| 45 |
Thou hast made us [as] the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
|
| 46 |
All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
|
| 47 |
Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
|
| 48 |
Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
|
| 49 |
Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
|
| 50 |
Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
|
| 51 |
Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
|
| 52 |
Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
|
| 53 |
They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
|
| 54 |
Waters flowed over mine head; [then] I said, I am cut off.
|
| 55 |
I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
|
| 56 |
Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
|
| 57 |
Thou drewest near in the day [that] I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
|
| 58 |
O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
|
| 59 |
O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
|
| 60 |
Thou hast seen all their vengeance [and] all their imaginations against me.
|
| 61 |
Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, [and] all their imaginations against me;
|
| 62 |
The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
|
| 63 |
Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I [am] their musick.
|
| 64 |
Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
|
| 65 |
Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
|
| 66 |
Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
