To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I waitedH6960 patientlyH6960 for the LORDH3068; and he inclinedH5186 unto me, and heardH8085 my cryH7775. {I waited…: Heb. In waiting I waited}
He brought me upH5927 also out of an horribleH7588 pitH953, out of the miryH3121 clayH2916, and setH6965 my feetH7272 upon a rockH5553, and establishedH3559 my goingsH838. {an…: Heb. a pit of noise}
And he hath putH5414 a newH2319 songH7892 in my mouthH6310, even praiseH8416 unto our GodH430: manyH7227 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372, and shall trustH982 in the LORDH3068.
BlessedH835 is that manH1397 that makethH7760 the LORDH3068 his trustH4009, and respectethH6437 not the proudH7295, nor such as turn asideH7750 to liesH3577.
ManyH7227, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, are thy wonderfulH6381 works which thou hast doneH6213, and thy thoughtsH4284 which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in orderH6186 unto thee: if I would declareH5046 and speakH1696 of them, they are moreH6105 than can be numberedH5608. {they cannot…: or, none can order them unto thee}
SacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503 thou didst not desireH2654; mine earsH241 hast thou openedH3738: burnt offeringH5930 and sin offeringH2401 hast thou not requiredH7592. {opened: Heb. digged}
Then saidH559 I, Lo, I comeH935: in the volumeH4039 of the bookH5612 it is writtenH3789 of me,
I delightH2654 to doH6213 thy willH7522, O my GodH430: yea, thy lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578. {within…: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}
I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: lo, I have not refrainedH3607 my lipsH8193, O LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045.
I have not hidH3680 thy righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have declaredH559 thy faithfulnessH530 and thy salvationH8668: I have not concealedH3582 thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.
WithholdH3607 not thou thy tender merciesH7356 from me, O LORDH3068: let thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 continuallyH8548 preserveH5341 me.
For innumerableH4557 evilsH7451 have compassedH661 me about: mine iniquitiesH5771 have taken holdH5381 upon me, so that I am not ableH3201 to look upH7200; they are moreH6105 than the hairsH8185 of mine headH7218: therefore my heartH3820 failethH5800 me. {falleth: Heb. forsaketh}
Be pleasedH7521, O LORDH3068, to deliverH5337 me: O LORDH3068, make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me.
Let them be ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659 togetherH3162 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315 to destroyH5595 it; let them be drivenH5472 backwardH268 and put to shameH3637 that wishH2655 me evilH7451.
Let them be desolateH8074 for a rewardH6118 of their shameH1322 that sayH559 unto me, AhaH1889, ahaH1889.
Let all those that seekH1245 thee rejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055 in thee: let such as loveH157 thy salvationH8668 sayH559 continuallyH8548, The LORDH3068 be magnifiedH1431.
But I am poorH6041 and needyH34; yet the LordH136 thinkethH2803 upon me: thou art my helpH5833 and my delivererH6403; make no tarryingH309, O my GodH430.

He sentH7971 from aboveH4791, he tookH3947 me, he drewH4871 me out of manyH7227 watersH4325. {many: or, great}
AndG2532 shall castG906 themG846 intoG1519 the furnaceG2575 of fireG4442: thereG1563 shall beG2071 wailingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
I sinkH2883 in deepH4688 mireH3121, where there is no standingH4613: I am comeH935 into deepH4615 watersH4325, where the floodsH7641 overflowH7857 me. {deep mire: Heb. the mire of depth} {deep waters: Heb. depth of waters}
For in the timeH3117 of troubleH7451 he shall hideH6845 me in his pavilionH5520: in the secretH5643 of his tabernacleH168 shall he hideH5641 me; he shall set me upH7311 upon a rockH6697.
Hold upH8551 my goingsH838 in thy pathsH4570, that my footstepsH6471 slipH4131 not. {slip…: Heb. be not moved}
He deliveredH5337 me from my strongH5794 enemyH341, and from them which hatedH8130 me: for they were too strongH553 for me.
DeliverH5337 me out of the mireH2916, and let me not sinkH2883: let me be deliveredH5337 from them that hateH8130 me, and out of the deepH4615 watersH4325.
From the endH7097 of the earthH776 will I cryH7121 unto thee, when my heartH3820 is overwhelmedH5848: leadH5148 me to the rockH6697 that is higherH7311 than I.
Thou hast enlargedH7337 my stepsH6806 under me, that my feetH7166 did not slipH4571. {my feet: Heb. mine ankles}
Thou, which hast shewedH7200 me greatH7227 and soreH7451 troublesH6869, shalt quickenH2421 me againH7725, and shalt bring me upH5927 againH7725 from the depthsH8415 of the earthH776.
Let not the waterfloodH4325+H7641 overflowH7857 me, neither let the deepH4688 swallow me upH1104, and let not the pitH875 shutH332 her mouthH6310 upon me.
ThereforeG3767 whosoeverG3956+G3748 hearethG191 theseG5128 sayingsG3056 of mineG3450, andG2532 doethG4160 themG846, I will likenG3666 himG846 unto a wiseG5429 manG435, whichG3748 builtG3618 hisG846 houseG3614 uponG1909 a rockG4073:
The stepsH4703 of a good manH1397 are orderedH3559 by the LORDH3068: and he delightethH2654 in his wayH1870. {ordered: or, established}
For greatH1419 is thy mercyH2617 toward me: and thou hast deliveredH5337 my soulH5315 from the lowestH8482 hellH7585. {hell: or, grave}
Then tookH3947 they JeremiahH3414, and castH7993 him into the dungeonH953 of MalchiahH4441 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4428, that was in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307: and they let downH7971 JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256. And in the dungeonH953 there was no waterH4325, but mireH2916: so JeremiahH3414 sunkH2883 in the mireH2916. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
Now when EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, oneH376 of the eunuchsH5631 which was in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, heardH8085 that they had putH5414 JeremiahH3414 in the dungeonH953; the kingH4428 then sittingH3427 in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144;
EbedmelechH5663 went forthH3318 out of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and spakeH1696 to the kingH4428, sayingH559,
My lordH113 the kingH4428, these menH582 have done evilH7489 in all that they have doneH6213 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, whom they have castH7993 into the dungeonH953; and he is like to dieH4191 forH6440 hungerH7458 in the placeH8478 where he is: for there is no more breadH3899 in the cityH5892. {he is like…: Heb. he will die}
Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680 EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559, TakeH3947 from hence thirtyH7970 menH582 with theeH3027, and take upH5927 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 out of the dungeonH953, before he dieH4191. {with thee: Heb. in thine hand}
So EbedmelechH5663 tookH3947 the menH582 with himH3027, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 under the treasuryH214, and tookH3947 thence oldH1094 cast cloutsH5499 and oldH1094 rotten ragsH4418, and let them downH7971 by cordsH2256 into the dungeonH953 to JeremiahH3414.
And EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569 saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, PutH7760 now these oldH1094 cast cloutsH5499 and rotten ragsH4418 under thine armholesH679+H3027 under the cordsH2256. And JeremiahH3414 didH6213 so.
AndG2532 the rainG1028 descendedG2597, andG2532 the floodsG4215 cameG2064, andG2532 the windsG417 blewG4154, andG2532 beat uponG4363 thatG1565 houseG3614; andG2532 it fellG4098 notG3756: forG1063 it was foundedG2311 uponG1909 a rockG4073.
The sorrowsH2256 of deathH4194 compassedH661 me, and the painsH4712 of hellH7585 gat holdH4672 upon me: I foundH4672 troubleH6869 and sorrowH3015. {gat…: Heb. found me}
They have cut offH6789 my lifeH2416 in the dungeonH953, and castH3034 a stoneH68 upon me.
WatersH4325 flowed overH6687 mine headH7218; then I saidH559, I am cut offH1504.
I calledH7121 upon thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, out of the lowH8482 dungeonH953.
AttendH7181 unto my cryH7440; for I am broughtH1809 veryH3966 lowH1809: deliverH5337 me from my persecutorsH7291; for they are strongerH553 than I.
BringH3318 my soulH5315 out of prisonH4525, that I may praiseH3034 thy nameH8034: the righteousH6662 shall compass me aboutH3803; for thou shalt deal bountifullyH1580 with me.
For the enemyH341 hath persecutedH7291 my soulH5315; he hath smittenH1792 my lifeH2416 downH1792 to the groundH776; he hath made me to dwellH3427 in darknessH4285, as those that have been longH5769 deadH4191.
And they shall be gathered togetherH622, as prisonersH616 are gatheredH626 in the pitH953, and shall be shut upH5462 in the prisonH4525, and after manyH7230 daysH3117 shall they be visitedH6485. {as prisoners…: Heb. with the gathering of prisoners} {pit: or, dungeon} {visited: or, found wanting}
The watersH4325 compassed me aboutH661, even to the soulH5315: the depthH8415 closed me round aboutH5437, the weedsH5488 were wrapped aboutH2280 my headH7218.
I went downH3381 to the bottomsH7095 of the mountainsH2022; the earthH776 with her barsH1280 was about me for everH5769: yet hast thou brought upH5927 my lifeH2416 from corruptionH7845, O LORDH3068 my GodH430. {bottoms: Heb. cuttings off} {corruption: or, the pit}
As for thee also, by the bloodH1818 of thy covenantH1285 I have sent forthH7971 thy prisonersH615 out of the pitH953 wherein is no waterH4325. {by…: or, whose covenant is by blood}
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath raised upG450, having loosedG3089 the painsG5604 of deathG2288: becauseG2530 it wasG2258 notG3756 possibleG1415 that heG846 should be holdenG2902 ofG5259 itG846.
BecauseG3754 thou wiltG1459 notG3756 leaveG1459 myG3450 soulG5590 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 wilt thou sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG3427 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG3165 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4675 countenanceG4383.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG2036 meG1832 freelyG3326+G3954 speakG2036 untoG4314 youG5209 ofG4012 the patriarchG3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3418 isG2076 withG1722 usG2254 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250. {let me: or, I may}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
He seeing this beforeG4275 spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG386 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG4561 did seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
