I am the manH1397 that hath seenH7200 afflictionH6040 by the rodH7626 of his wrathH5678.
He hath ledH5090 me, and broughtH3212 me into darknessH2822, but not into lightH216.
Surely against me is he turnedH7725; he turnethH2015 his handH3027 against me all the dayH3117.
My fleshH1320 and my skinH5785 hath he made oldH1086; he hath brokenH7665 my bonesH6106.
He hath builded againstH1129 me, and compassedH5362 me with gallH7219 and travailH8513.
He hath setH3427 me in dark placesH4285, as they that be deadH4191 of oldH5769.
He hath hedgedH1443 me about, that I cannot get outH3318: he hath made my chainH5178 heavyH3513.
Also when I cryH2199 and shoutH7768, he shutteth outH5640 my prayerH8605.
He hath inclosedH1443 my waysH1870 with hewn stoneH1496, he hath made my pathsH5410 crookedH5753.
He was unto me as a bearH1677 lying in waitH693, and as a lionH738 in secret placesH4565.
He hath turned asideH5493 my waysH1870, and pulled me in piecesH6582: he hath madeH7760 me desolateH8074.
He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198, and setH5324 me as a markH4307 for the arrowH2671.
He hath caused the arrowsH1121 of his quiverH827 to enterH935 into my reinsH3629. {arrows: Heb. sons}
I was a derisionH7814 to all my peopleH5971; and their songH5058 all the dayH3117.
He hath filledH7646 me with bitternessH4844, he hath made me drunkenH7301 with wormwoodH3939. {bitterness: Heb. bitternesses}
He hath also brokenH1638 my teethH8127 with gravel stonesH2687, he hath coveredH3728 me with ashesH665. {covered…: or, rolled me in the ashes}
And thou hast removedH2186 my soulH5315 far offH2186 from peaceH7965: I forgatH5382 prosperityH2896. {prosperity: Heb. good}
And I saidH559, My strengthH5331 and my hopeH8431 is perishedH6 from the LORDH3068:
RememberingH2142 mine afflictionH6040 and my miseryH4788, the wormwoodH3939 and the gallH7219. {Remembering: or, Remember}
My soulH5315 hath them stillH2142 in remembranceH2142, and is humbledH7743 in me. {humbled: Heb. bowed}
This I recallH7725 to my mindH3820, therefore have I hopeH3176. {recall…: Heb. make to return to my heart}
It is of the LORD'SH3068 merciesH2617 that we are not consumedH8552, because his compassionsH7356 failH3615 not.
They are newH2319 every morningH1242: greatH7227 is thy faithfulnessH530.
The LORDH3068 is my portionH2506, saithH559 my soulH5315; therefore will I hopeH3176 in him.
The LORDH3068 is goodH2896 unto them that waitH6960 for him, to the soulH5315 that seekethH1875 him.
It is goodH2896 that a man should both hopeH3175+H2342 and quietly waitH1748 for the salvationH8668 of the LORDH3068.
It is goodH2896 for a manH1397 that he bearH5375 the yokeH5923 in his youthH5271.
He sittethH3427 aloneH910 and keepeth silenceH1826, because he hath borneH5190 it upon him.
He puttethH5414 his mouthH6310 in the dustH6083; if so be there may beH3426 hopeH8615.
He givethH5414 his cheekH3895 to him that smitethH5221 him: he is filled fullH7646 with reproachH2781.
For the LordH136 will not cast offH2186 for everH5769:
But though he cause griefH3013, yet will he have compassionH7355 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
For he doth not afflictH6031 willinglyH3820 nor grieveH3013 the childrenH1121 of menH376. {willingly: Heb. from his heart}
To crushH1792 under his feetH7272 all the prisonersH615 of the earthH776,
To turn asideH5186 the rightH4941 of a manH1397 before the faceH6440 of the most HighH5945, {the most High: or, a superior}
To subvertH5791 a manH120 in his causeH7379, the LordH136 approvethH7200 not. {approveth not: or, seeth not}
Who is he that saithH559, and it cometh to pass, when the LordH136 commandethH6680 it not?
Out of the mouthH6310 of the most HighH5945 proceedethH3318 not evilH7451 and goodH2896?
Wherefore doth a livingH2416 manH120 complainH596, a manH1397 for the punishment of his sinsH2399? {complain: or, murmur}
Let us searchH2664 and tryH2713 our waysH1870, and turn againH7725 to the LORDH3068.
Let us lift upH5375 our heartH3824 with our handsH3709 unto GodH410 in the heavensH8064.
WeH5168 have transgressedH6586 and have rebelledH4784: thou hast not pardonedH5545.
Thou hast coveredH5526 with angerH639, and persecutedH7291 us: thou hast slainH2026, thou hast not pitiedH2550.
Thou hast coveredH5526 thyself with a cloudH6051, that our prayerH8605 should not pass throughH5674.
Thou hast madeH7760 us as the offscouringH5501 and refuseH3973 in the midstH7130 of the peopleH5971.
All our enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthsH6310 against us.
FearH6343 and a snareH6354 is come upon us, desolationH7612 and destructionH7667.
Mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with riversH6388 of waterH4325 for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
Mine eyeH5869 trickleth downH5064, and ceasethH1820 not, without any intermissionH2014,
Till the LORDH3068 look downH8259, and beholdH7200 from heavenH8064.
Mine eyeH5869 affectethH5953 mine heartH5315 because of all the daughtersH1323 of my cityH5892. {mine heart: Heb. my soul} {because…: or, more than all}
Mine enemiesH341 chasedH6679 me soreH6679, like a birdH6833, without causeH2600.
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.
Thou hast heardH8085 my voiceH6963: hideH5956 not thine earH241 at my breathingH7309, at my cryH7775.
Thou drewest nearH7126 in the dayH3117 that I calledH7121 upon thee: thou saidstH559, FearH3372 not.
O LordH136, thou hast pleadedH7378 the causesH7379 of my soulH5315; thou hast redeemedH1350 my lifeH2416.
O LORDH3068, thou hast seenH7200 my wrongH5792: judgeH8199 thou my causeH4941.
Thou hast seenH7200 all their vengeanceH5360 and all their imaginationsH4284 against me.
Thou hast heardH8085 their reproachH2781, O LORDH3068, and all their imaginationsH4284 against me;
The lipsH8193 of those that rose upH6965 against me, and their deviceH1902 against me all the dayH3117.
BeholdH5027 their sitting downH3427, and their rising upH7012; I am their musickH4485.
RenderH7725 unto them a recompenceH1576, O LORDH3068, according to the workH4639 of their handsH3027.
GiveH5414 them sorrowH4044 of heartH3820, thy curseH8381 unto them. {sorrow…: or, obstinacy of heart}
PersecuteH7291 and destroyH8045 them in angerH639 from under the heavensH8064 of the LORDH3068.

For the LORDH3068 shall rise upH6965 as in mountH2022 PerazimH6559, he shall be wrothH7264 as in the valleyH6010 of GibeonH1391, that he may doH6213 his workH4639, his strangeH2114 workH4639; and bring to passH5647 his actH5656, his strangeH5237 actH5656.
For I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of him that diethH4191, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: wherefore turnH7725 yourselves, and liveH2421 ye. {yourselves: or, others}
SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
