verso 1

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Lilies.” By David. Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck!


verso 2

I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.


verso 3

I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God.


verso 4

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.


verso 5

God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren’t hidden from you.


verso 6

Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord Yahweh of Armies. Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel.


verso 7

Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.


verso 8

I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s children.


verso 9

For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.


verso 10

When I wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach.


verso 11

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.


verso 12

Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards.


verso 13

But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.


verso 14

Deliver me out of the mire, and don’t let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.


verso 15

Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me.


verso 16

Answer me, Yahweh, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.


verso 17

Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!


verso 18

Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.


verso 19

You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before you.


verso 20

Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.


verso 21

They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.


verso 22

Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.


verso 23

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent.


verso 24

Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.


verso 25

Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.


verso 26

For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.


verso 27

Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness.


verso 28

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.


verso 29

But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.


verso 30

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.


verso 31

It will please Yahweh better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.


verso 32

The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.


verso 33

For Yahweh hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people.


verso 34

Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!


verso 35

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it.


verso 36

The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.
