For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of David. Save{H3467} me, O God;{H430} For the waters{H4325} are come{H935} in unto my soul.{H5315}

I sink{H2883} in deep{H4688} mire,{H3121} where there is no standing:{H4613} I am come{H935} into deep{H4615} waters,{H4325} where the floods{H7641} overflow{H7857} me.

I am weary{H3021} with my crying;{H7121} my throat{H1627} is dried:{H2787} Mine eyes{H5869} fail{H3615} while I wait{H3176} for my God.{H430}

They that hate{H8130} me without a cause{H2600} are more{H7231} than the hairs{H8185} of my head:{H7218} They that would cut me off,{H6789} being mine enemies{H341} wrongfully,{H8267} are mighty:{H6105} That which I took not away{H1497} I have to restore.{H7725}

O God,{H430} thou knowest{H3045} my foolishness;{H200} And my sins{H819} are not hid{H3582} from thee.

Let not them that wait{H6960} for thee be put to shame{H954} through me, O Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} of hosts:{H6635} Let not those that seek{H1245} thee be brought to dishonor{H3637} through me, O God{H430} of Israel.{H3478}

Because for thy sake I have borne{H5375} reproach;{H2781} Shame{H3639} hath covered{H3680} my face.{H6440}

I am become a stranger{H2114} unto my brethren,{H251} And an alien{H5237} unto my mother's{H517} children.{H1121}

For the zeal{H7068} of thy house{H1004} hath eaten me up;{H398} And the reproaches{H2781} of them that reproach{H2778} thee are fallen{H5307} upon me.

When I wept,{H1058} [and chastened] my soul{H5315} with fasting,{H6685} That was to my reproach.{H2781}

When I made{H5414} sackcloth{H8242} my clothing,{H3830} I became a byword{H4912} unto them.

They that sit in{H3427} the gate{H8179} talk{H7878} of me; And [I am] the song{H5058} of the drunkards.{H8354}

But as for me, my prayer{H8605} is unto thee, O Jehovah,{H3068} in an acceptable{H7522} time:{H6256} O God,{H430} in the abundance{H7230} of thy lovingkindness,{H2617} Answer{H6030} me in the truth{H571} of thy salvation.{H3468}

Deliver{H5337} me out of the mire,{H2916} and let me not sink:{H2883} Let me be delivered{H5337} from them that hate{H8130} me, and out of the deep{H4615} waters.{H4325}

Let not the waterflood{H4325} overwhelm{H7857} me, Neither let the deep{H4688} shallow me up;{H1104} And let not the pit{H875} shut{H332} its mouth{H6310} upon me.

Answer{H6030} me, O Jehovah;{H3068} for thy lovingkindness{H2617} is good:{H2896} According to the multitude{H7230} of thy tender mercies{H7356} turn{H6437} thou unto me.

And hide{H5641} not thy face{H6440} from thy servant;{H5650} For I am in distress;{H6887} answer{H6030} me speedily.{H4118}

Draw nigh{H7126} unto my soul,{H5315} and redeem{H1350} it: Ransom{H6299} me because of mine enemies.{H341}

Thou knowest{H3045} my reproach,{H2781} and my shame,{H2781} and my dishonor:{H1322} Mine adversaries{H6887} are all before thee.

Reproach{H2781} hath broken{H7665} my heart;{H3820} and I am full of heaviness:{H5136} And I looked{H6960} for some to take pity,{H5110} but there was none; And for comforters,{H5162} but I found{H4672} none.

They gave{H5414} me also gall{H7219} for my food;{H1267} And in my thirst{H6772} they gave me vinegar{H2558} to drink.{H8248}

Let their table{H7979} before{H6440} them become a snare;{H6341} And when they are in peace,{H7965} [let it become] a trap.{H4170}

Let their eyes{H5869} be darkened,{H2821} so that they cannot see;{H7200} And make their loins{H4975} continually{H8548} to shake.{H4571}

Pour out{H8210} thine indignation{H2195} upon them, And let the fierceness{H2740} of thine anger{H639} overtake{H5381} them.

Let their habitation{H2918} be desolate;{H8074} Let none dwell{H3427} in their tents.{H168}

For they persecute{H7291} him whom thou hast smitten;{H5221} And they tell{H5608} of the sorrow{H4341} of those whom thou hast wounded.{H2491}

Add{H5414} iniquity{H5771} unto their iniquity;{H5771} And let them not come{H935} into thy righteousness.{H6666}

Let them be blotted{H4229} out of the book{H5612} of life,{H2416} And not be written{H3789} with the righteous.{H6662}

But I am poor{H6041} and sorrowful:{H3510} Let thy salvation,{H3444} O God,{H430} set me up on high.{H7682}

I will praise{H1984} the name{H8034} of God{H430} with a song,{H7892} And will magnify{H1431} him with thanksgiving.{H8426}

And it will please{H3190} Jehovah{H3068} better{H3190} than an ox,{H7794} [Or] a bullock{H6499} that hath horns{H7160} and hoofs.{H6536}

The meek{H6035} have seen{H7200} it, and are glad:{H8055} Ye that seek{H1875} after God,{H430} let your heart{H3824} live.{H2421}

For Jehovah{H3068} heareth{H8085} the needy,{H34} And despiseth{H959} not his prisoners.{H615}

Let heaven{H8064} and earth{H776} praise{H1984} him, The seas,{H3220} and everything that moveth{H7430} therein.

For God{H430} will save{H3467} Zion,{H6726} and build{H1129} the cities{H5892} of Judah;{H3063} And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.{H3423}

The seed{H2233} also of his servants{H5650} shall inherit{H5157} it; And they that love{H157} his name{H8034} shall dwell{H7931} therein.
