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.

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.

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.
22Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

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.

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.

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.
