| 1 | Saue mee, O God, for the waters are come in vnto my soule. |
| 2 | I sinke in deepe mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deepe waters, where the flouds ouerflow me. |
| 3 | I am weary of my crying, my throate is dried: mine eyes faile while I waite for my God. |
| 4 | They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the haires of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mineenemies 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. |
| 6 | Let not them that waite on thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seeke thee, beconfounded for my sake, O God of Israel. |
| 7 | Because for thy sake I haue borne reproch: shame hath couered my face. |
| 8 | I 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. |
| 10 | When I wept, and chastened my soule with fasting, that was to my reproch. |
| 11 | I 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. |
| 13 | But as for mee, my prayer is vnto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercie heareme, in the trueth of thy saluation. |
| 14 | Deliuer me out of the mire, and let me not sinke: let me bee deliuered from them that hate me, and out of thedeepe waters. |
| 15 | Let not the water flood ouerflow me, neither let the deepe swallow mee vp, and let not the pit shut her mouth vponme. |
| 16 | Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnesse is good: turne vnto mee according to the multitude of thy tendermercies. |
| 17 | And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: heare me speedily. |
| 18 | Draw nigh vnto my soule, and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies. |
| 19 | Thou hast knowen my reproch and my shame and my dishonor: mine aduersaries are all before thee. |
| 20 | Reproch 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. |
| 21 | They 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 atrap. |
| 23 | Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and make their loines continually to shake. |
| 24 | Powre out thine indignation vpon them, and let thy wrathfull anger take hold of them. |
| 25 | Let their habitation be desolate, and let none dwell in their tents. |
| 26 | For they persecute him whō thou hast smitten, and they talke to the griefe of those whom thou hast wounded. |
| 27 | Adde iniquitie vnto their iniquitie: and let them not come into thy righteousnesse. |
| 28 | Let them bee blotted out of the booke of the liuing, and not be written with the righteous. |
| 29 | But I am poore, and sorowfull: let thy saluation (O God) set me vp on high. |
| 30 | I 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. |
| 32 | The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall liue that seeke good. |
| 33 | For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners. |
| 34 | Let the heauen and earth praise him, the seas, and euery thing that moueth therein. |
| 35 | For God will saue Sion, and will build the cities of Iudah, that they may dwell there, and haue it in possession. |
| 36 | The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name shall dwell therein. |
