    1WHO hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

    2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

    3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

    4¶ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

    5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

    6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

    7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

    8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

    9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

    10¶ Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

    11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

    12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

    1MY God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

    2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

    3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

    4Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

    5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

    6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

    7All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

    8He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

    9But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

    10I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.

    11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

    12Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

    13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

    14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

    15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

    16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

    17I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

    18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

    19But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

    20Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

    21Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

    22I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

    23Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

    24For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

    25My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

    26The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

    27All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

    28For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations.

    29All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

    1SAVE me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

    2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

    3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

    4They 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.

    5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

    6Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

    7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

    8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

    9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

    10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

    11I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.

    12They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

    13But 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.

    14Deliver 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.

    15Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

    16Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

    17And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

    18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

    19Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

    20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

    21They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

    33For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

    34Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

    35For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

    1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

    2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

    3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

    4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

    5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

    6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

    7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

    8Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

    9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

    10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

    11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

    12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

    13But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

    14Lord, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

    15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

    16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

    17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
