American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Let the lying lips be dumb,Which speak against the righteous insolently,With pride and contempt.
Oh how great is thy goodness,Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee,Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee,Before the sons of men!
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done,And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; {Or, There is none to be compared unto thee}They cannot be set in order unto thee;If I would declare and speak of them,They are more than can be numbered.
Add iniquity unto their iniquity;And let them not come into thy righteousness.
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;And they tell of the {Or, pain}sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
O God, thou knowest my foolishness;And my {Hebrew: guiltinesses.}sins are not hid from thee.
I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried:Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:They that would cut me off, being mine enemies {Hebrew: falsely.}wrongfully, are mighty:That which I took not away I have to restore.
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink:Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
