Unto the end, for them that shall be changed; for David. 2Save me, O God: for the waters are come in even unto my soul. 3I stick fast in the mire of the deep and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea, and a tempest hath overwhelmed me. 4I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse, my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God. 5They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away. 6O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee: 7Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel. 8Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. 9I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother. 10For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. 11And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me. 12And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them. 13They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song. 14But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. 15Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. 16Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep water swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. 17Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. 18And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily. 19Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies. 20Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame. 21In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none. 22And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 23Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock. 24Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always. 25Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. 26Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles. 27Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds. 28Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice. 29Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the just let them not be written. 30But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set me up. 31I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise. 32And it shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth horns and hoofs. 33Let the poor see and rejoice: seek ye God, and your soul shall live. 34For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath not despised his prisoners. 35Let the heavens and the earth praise him; the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.
