^2††I sinke in deepe mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deepe waters, where the flouds ouerflow me.

³I am weary of my crying, my throate is dried: mine eyes faile while I waite for my God.

⁴They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the haires of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mightie: then I restored that which I tooke not away.

^5†O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse; and my sinnes are not hidde from thee.

⁶Let not them that waite on thee, O LORD God of hostes, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

⁷Because for thy sake I haue borne reproch: shame hath couered my face.

⁸I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, and an aliant vnto my mothers children.

^9**For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee vp; and the reproches of them that reproched thee, are fallen vpon me.

¹⁰When I wept, and chastened my soule with fasting, that was to my reproch.

¹¹I made sackecloth also my garment: & I became a prouerbe to them.

^12†They that sit in the gate, speake against mee; and I was the song of the drunkards.

¹³But as for mee, my prayer is vnto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercie heare me, in the trueth of thy saluation.

¹⁴Deliuer me out of the mire, and let me not sinke: let me bee deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.

¹⁵Let not the water flood ouerflow me, neither let the deepe swallow mee vp, and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.

¹⁶Heare me, O LORD, for thy louing kindnesse is good: turne vnto mee according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

¹⁷And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: ^†heare me speedily.

¹⁸Draw nigh vnto my soule, and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.

¹⁹Thou hast knowen my reproch and my shame and my dishonor: mine aduersaries are all before thee.

²⁰Reproch hath broken my heart, and I am full of heauines: and I looked for some ^†to take pitie, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

²¹They gaue mee also gall for my meat, ^*and in my thirst they gaue mee vineger to drinke.

^22*Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should haue bene for their welfare, let it become a trap.

²³Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and make their loines continually to shake.

²⁴Powre out thine indignation vpon them, and let thy wrathfull anger take hold of them.

²⁵Let their ^†habitation be desolate, and ^†let none dwell in their tents.

²⁶For they persecute him whō thou hast smitten, and they talke to the griefe of ^†those whom thou hast wounded.

²⁷Adde ^‖iniquitie vnto their iniquitie: and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.

²⁸Let them bee blotted out of the booke of the liuing, and not be written with the righteous.

²⁹But I am poore, and sorowfull: let thy saluation (O God) set me vp on high.

³⁰I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnifie him with thankesgiuing.

³¹ This also shall please the LORD better then an oxe or bullocke that hath hornes and hoofes.

³²The ^‖humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall liue that seeke good.

³³For the LORD heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.

³⁴Let the heauen and earth praise him, the seas, and euery thing that ^†moueth therein.

³⁵For God will saue Sion, and will build the cities of Iudah, that they may dwell there, and haue it in possession.

³⁶The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name shall dwell therein.
