American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name's sake:Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;
For I am poor and needy,And my heart is wounded within me.

Wherefore {Greek: make straight.}lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees;
He {Another reading is, afflicted me with his strength.}weakened my strength in the way;He shortened my days.
And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.
I may count all my bones.They look and stare upon me;
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am {Or, sore sick}full of heaviness:And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;And for comforters, but I found none.
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,
