King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
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:
How doth the cityH5892 sitH3427 solitaryH910, that was fullH7227 of peopleH5971! how is she become as a widowH490! she that was greatH7227 among the nationsH1471, and princessH8282 among the provincesH4082, how is she become tributaryH4522!
She weepethH1058 soreH1058 in the nightH3915, and her tearsH1832 are on her cheeksH3895: among all her loversH157 she hath none to comfortH5162 her: all her friendsH7453 have dealt treacherouslyH898 with her, they are become her enemiesH341.
JudahH3063 is gone into captivityH1540 because of afflictionH6040, and because of greatH7230 servitudeH5656: she dwellethH3427 among the heathenH1471, she findethH4672 no restH4494: all her persecutorsH7291 overtookH5381 her between the straitsH4712. {because of great…: Heb. for the greatness of servitude}
The waysH1870 of ZionH6726 do mournH57, because none comeH935 to the solemn feastsH4150: all her gatesH8179 are desolateH8074: her priestsH3548 sighH584, her virginsH1330 are afflictedH3013, and she is in bitternessH4843.
Her adversariesH6862 are the chiefH7218, her enemiesH341 prosperH7951; for the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 her for the multitudeH7230 of her transgressionsH6588: her childrenH5768 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 the enemyH6862.
And from the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 all her beautyH1926 is departedH3318: her princesH8269 are become like hartsH354 that findH4672 no pastureH4829, and they are goneH3212 without strengthH3581 beforeH6440 the pursuerH7291.
JerusalemH3389 rememberedH2142 in the daysH3117 of her afflictionH6040 and of her miseriesH4788 all her pleasant thingsH4262 that she had in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, when her peopleH5971 fellH5307 into the handH3027 of the enemyH6862, and none did helpH5826 her: the adversariesH6862 sawH7200 her, and did mockH7832 at her sabbathsH4868. {pleasant: or, desirable}
JerusalemH3389 hath grievouslyH2399 sinnedH2398; therefore she is removedH5206: all that honouredH3513 her despiseH2107 her, because they have seenH7200 her nakednessH6172: yea, she sighethH584, and turnethH7725 backwardH268. {is…: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering}
Her filthinessH2932 is in her skirtsH7757; she rememberethH2142 not her last endH319; therefore she came downH3381 wonderfullyH6382: she had no comforterH5162. O LORDH3068, beholdH7200 my afflictionH6040: for the enemyH341 hath magnifiedH1431 himself.
The adversaryH6862 hath spread outH6566 his handH3027 upon all her pleasant thingsH4261: for she hath seenH7200 that the heathenH1471 enteredH935 into her sanctuaryH4720, whom thou didst commandH6680 that they should not enterH935 into thy congregationH6951. {pleasant: or, desirable}
All her peopleH5971 sighH584, they seekH1245 breadH3899; they have givenH5414 their pleasant thingsH4261+H4262 for meatH400 to relieveH7725 the soulH5315: seeH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027; for I am become vileH2151. {to…: or, to make the soul to come again}
Is it nothing to you, all ye that passH5674 byH1870? beholdH5027, and seeH7200 if there beH3426 any sorrowH4341 like unto my sorrowH4341, which is doneH5953 unto me, wherewith the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 me in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. {Is it…: or, It is nothing} {pass by: Heb. pass by the way?}
From aboveH4791 hath he sentH7971 fireH784 into my bonesH6106, and it prevailethH7287 against them: he hath spreadH6566 a netH7568 for my feetH7272, he hath turnedH7725 me backH268: he hath madeH5414 me desolateH8074 and faintH1739 all the dayH3117.
The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is boundH8244 by his handH3027: they are wreathedH8276, and come upH5927 upon my neckH6677: he hath made my strengthH3581 to fallH3782, the LordH136 hath deliveredH5414 me into their handsH3027, from whom I am not ableH3201 to rise upH6965.
The LordH136 hath trodden under footH5541 all my mightyH47 men in the midstH7130 of me: he hath calledH7121 an assemblyH4150 against me to crushH7665 my young menH970: the LordH136 hath troddenH1869 the virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063, as in a winepressH1660. {the virgin…: or, the winepress of the virgin, etc}
For these things I weepH1058; mine eyeH5869, mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with waterH4325, because the comforterH5162 that should relieveH7725 my soulH5315 is farH7368 from me: my childrenH1121 are desolateH8074, because the enemyH341 prevailedH1396. {relieve: Heb. bring back}
ZionH6726 spreadeth forthH6566 her handsH3027, and there is none to comfortH5162 her: the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 concerning JacobH3290, that his adversariesH6862 should be round aboutH5439 him: JerusalemH3389 is as a menstruous womanH5079 among them.
The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784 against his commandmentH6310: hearH8085, I pray you, all peopleH5971, and beholdH7200 my sorrowH4341: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {commandment: Heb. mouth}
I calledH7121 for my loversH157, but they deceivedH7411 me: my priestsH3548 and mine eldersH2205 gave up the ghostH1478 in the cityH5892, while they soughtH1245 their meatH400 to relieveH7725 their soulsH5315.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068; for I am in distressH6887: my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560; mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 withinH7130 me; for I have grievouslyH4784 rebelledH4784: abroadH2351 the swordH2719 bereavethH7921, at homeH1004 there is as deathH4194.
They have heardH8085 that I sighH584: there is none to comfortH5162 me: all mine enemiesH341 have heardH8085 of my troubleH7451; they are gladH7797 that thou hast doneH6213 it: thou wilt bringH935 the dayH3117 that thou hast calledH7121, and they shall be likeH3644 unto me. {called: or, proclaimed}
Let all their wickednessH7451 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee; and doH5953 unto them, as thou hast doneH5953 unto me for all my transgressionsH6588: for my sighsH585 are manyH7227, and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.
How hath the LordH136 coveredH5743 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 with a cloudH5743 in his angerH639, and cast downH7993 from heavenH8064 unto the earthH776 the beautyH8597 of IsraelH3478, and rememberedH2142 not his footstoolH1916+H7272 in the dayH3117 of his angerH639!
The LordH136 hath swallowed upH1104 all the habitationsH4999 of JacobH3290, and hath not pitiedH2550: he hath thrown downH2040 in his wrathH5678 the strong holdsH4013 of the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063; he hath brought them downH5060 to the groundH776: he hath pollutedH2490 the kingdomH4467 and the princesH8269 thereof. {brought…: Heb. made to touch}
He hath cut offH1438 in his fierceH2750 angerH639 all the hornH7161 of IsraelH3478: he hath drawnH7725 backH268 his right handH3225 from beforeH6440 the enemyH341, and he burnedH1197 against JacobH3290 like a flamingH3852 fireH784, which devourethH398 round aboutH5439.
He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198 like an enemyH341: he stoodH5324 with his right handH3225 as an adversaryH6862, and slewH2026 all that were pleasantH4261 to the eyeH5869 in the tabernacleH168 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: he poured outH8210 his furyH2534 like fireH784. {all…: Heb. all the desirable of the eye}
The LordH136 was as an enemyH341: he hath swallowed upH1104 IsraelH3478, he hath swallowed upH1104 all her palacesH759: he hath destroyedH7843 his strong holdsH4013, and hath increasedH7235 in the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063 mourningH8386 and lamentationH592.
And he hath violently taken awayH2554 his tabernacleH7900, as if it were of a gardenH1588: he hath destroyedH7843 his places of the assemblyH4150: the LORDH3068 hath caused the solemn feastsH4150 and sabbathsH7676 to be forgottenH7911 in ZionH6726, and hath despisedH5006 in the indignationH2195 of his angerH639 the kingH4428 and the priestH3548. {tabernacle: or, hedge}
The LordH136 hath cast offH2186 his altarH4196, he hath abhorredH5010 his sanctuaryH4720, he hath given upH5462 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341 the wallsH2346 of her palacesH759; they have madeH5414 a noiseH6963 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, as in the dayH3117 of a solemn feastH4150. {given up: Heb. shut up}
The LORDH3068 hath purposedH2803 to destroyH7843 the wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: he hath stretched outH5186 a lineH6957, he hath not withdrawnH7725 his handH3027 from destroyingH1104: therefore he made the rampartH2426 and the wallH2346 to lamentH56; they languishedH535 togetherH3162. {destroying: Heb. swallowing up}
Her gatesH8179 are sunkH2883 into the groundH776; he hath destroyedH6 and brokenH7665 her barsH1280: her kingH4428 and her princesH8269 are among the GentilesH1471: the lawH8451 is no more; her prophetsH5030 also findH4672 no visionH2377 from the LORDH3068.
The eldersH2205 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 sitH3427 upon the groundH776, and keep silenceH1826: they have cast upH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218; they have girdedH2296 themselves with sackclothH8242: the virginsH1330 of JerusalemH3389 hang downH3381 their headsH7218 to the groundH776.
Mine eyesH5869 do failH3615 with tearsH1832, my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560, my liverH3516 is pouredH8210 upon the earthH776, for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971; because the childrenH5768 and the sucklingsH3243 swoonH5848 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151. {swoon: or, faint}
They sayH559 to their mothersH517, Where is cornH1715 and wineH3196? when they swoonedH5848 as the woundedH2491 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, when their soulH5315 was poured outH8210 into their mothers'H517 bosomH2436.
What thing shall I take to witnessH5749+H5749 for thee? what thingH4100 shall I likenH1819 to thee, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? what shall I equalH7737 to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? for thy breachH7667 is greatH1419 like the seaH3220: who can healH7495 thee?
Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 vainH7723 and foolish thingsH8602 for thee: and they have not discoveredH1540 thine iniquityH5771, to turn awayH7725 thy captivityH7622+H7622; but have seenH2372 for thee falseH7723 burdensH4864 and causes of banishmentH4065.
All that passH5674 by clapH5606 their handsH3709 at theeH1870; they hissH8319 and wagH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, saying, Is this the cityH5892 that men callH559 The perfectionH3632 of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the whole earthH776? {by: Heb. by the way}
All thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 against thee: they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127: they sayH559, We have swallowed her upH1104: certainlyH389 this is the dayH3117 that we looked forH6960; we have foundH4672, we have seenH7200 it.
The LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 that which he had devisedH2161; he hath fulfilledH1214 his wordH565 that he had commandedH6680 in the daysH3117 of oldH6924: he hath thrown downH2040, and hath not pitiedH2550: and he hath caused thine enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee, he hath set upH7311 the hornH7161 of thine adversariesH6862.
Their heartH3820 criedH6817 unto the LordH136, O wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, let tearsH1832 run downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915: giveH5414 thyself no restH6314; let not the appleH1323 of thine eyeH5869 ceaseH1826.
AriseH6965, cry outH7442 in the nightH3915: in the beginningH7218 of the watchesH821 pour outH8210 thine heartH3820 like waterH4325 beforeH5227 the faceH6440 of the LordH136: lift upH5375 thy handsH3709 toward him for the lifeH5315 of thy young childrenH5768, that faintH5848 for hungerH7458 in the topH7218 of every streetH2351.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027 to whom thou hast doneH5953 thisH3541. Shall the womenH802 eatH398 their fruitH6529, and childrenH5768 of a span longH2949? shall the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 be slainH2026 in the sanctuaryH4720 of the LordH136? {of a span…: or, swaddled with their hands?}
The youngH5288 and the oldH2205 lieH7901 on the groundH776 in the streetsH2351: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are fallenH5307 by the swordH2719; thou hast slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of thine angerH639; thou hast killedH2873, and not pitiedH2550.
Thou hast calledH7121 as in a solemnH4150 dayH3117 my terrorsH4032 round aboutH5439, so that in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 none escapedH6412 nor remainedH8300: those that I have swaddledH2946 and brought upH7235 hath mine enemyH341 consumedH3615.
How doth the cityH5892 sitH3427 solitaryH910, that was fullH7227 of peopleH5971! how is she become as a widowH490! she that was greatH7227 among the nationsH1471, and princessH8282 among the provincesH4082, how is she become tributaryH4522!
She weepethH1058 soreH1058 in the nightH3915, and her tearsH1832 are on her cheeksH3895: among all her loversH157 she hath none to comfortH5162 her: all her friendsH7453 have dealt treacherouslyH898 with her, they are become her enemiesH341.
JudahH3063 is gone into captivityH1540 because of afflictionH6040, and because of greatH7230 servitudeH5656: she dwellethH3427 among the heathenH1471, she findethH4672 no restH4494: all her persecutorsH7291 overtookH5381 her between the straitsH4712. {because of great…: Heb. for the greatness of servitude}
The waysH1870 of ZionH6726 do mournH57, because none comeH935 to the solemn feastsH4150: all her gatesH8179 are desolateH8074: her priestsH3548 sighH584, her virginsH1330 are afflictedH3013, and she is in bitternessH4843.
Her adversariesH6862 are the chiefH7218, her enemiesH341 prosperH7951; for the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 her for the multitudeH7230 of her transgressionsH6588: her childrenH5768 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 the enemyH6862.
And from the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 all her beautyH1926 is departedH3318: her princesH8269 are become like hartsH354 that findH4672 no pastureH4829, and they are goneH3212 without strengthH3581 beforeH6440 the pursuerH7291.
JerusalemH3389 rememberedH2142 in the daysH3117 of her afflictionH6040 and of her miseriesH4788 all her pleasant thingsH4262 that she had in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, when her peopleH5971 fellH5307 into the handH3027 of the enemyH6862, and none did helpH5826 her: the adversariesH6862 sawH7200 her, and did mockH7832 at her sabbathsH4868. {pleasant: or, desirable}
JerusalemH3389 hath grievouslyH2399 sinnedH2398; therefore she is removedH5206: all that honouredH3513 her despiseH2107 her, because they have seenH7200 her nakednessH6172: yea, she sighethH584, and turnethH7725 backwardH268. {is…: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering}
Her filthinessH2932 is in her skirtsH7757; she rememberethH2142 not her last endH319; therefore she came downH3381 wonderfullyH6382: she had no comforterH5162. O LORDH3068, beholdH7200 my afflictionH6040: for the enemyH341 hath magnifiedH1431 himself.
The adversaryH6862 hath spread outH6566 his handH3027 upon all her pleasant thingsH4261: for she hath seenH7200 that the heathenH1471 enteredH935 into her sanctuaryH4720, whom thou didst commandH6680 that they should not enterH935 into thy congregationH6951. {pleasant: or, desirable}
All her peopleH5971 sighH584, they seekH1245 breadH3899; they have givenH5414 their pleasant thingsH4261+H4262 for meatH400 to relieveH7725 the soulH5315: seeH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027; for I am become vileH2151. {to…: or, to make the soul to come again}
Is it nothing to you, all ye that passH5674 byH1870? beholdH5027, and seeH7200 if there beH3426 any sorrowH4341 like unto my sorrowH4341, which is doneH5953 unto me, wherewith the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 me in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. {Is it…: or, It is nothing} {pass by: Heb. pass by the way?}
From aboveH4791 hath he sentH7971 fireH784 into my bonesH6106, and it prevailethH7287 against them: he hath spreadH6566 a netH7568 for my feetH7272, he hath turnedH7725 me backH268: he hath madeH5414 me desolateH8074 and faintH1739 all the dayH3117.
The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is boundH8244 by his handH3027: they are wreathedH8276, and come upH5927 upon my neckH6677: he hath made my strengthH3581 to fallH3782, the LordH136 hath deliveredH5414 me into their handsH3027, from whom I am not ableH3201 to rise upH6965.
The LordH136 hath trodden under footH5541 all my mightyH47 men in the midstH7130 of me: he hath calledH7121 an assemblyH4150 against me to crushH7665 my young menH970: the LordH136 hath troddenH1869 the virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063, as in a winepressH1660. {the virgin…: or, the winepress of the virgin, etc}
For these things I weepH1058; mine eyeH5869, mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with waterH4325, because the comforterH5162 that should relieveH7725 my soulH5315 is farH7368 from me: my childrenH1121 are desolateH8074, because the enemyH341 prevailedH1396. {relieve: Heb. bring back}
ZionH6726 spreadeth forthH6566 her handsH3027, and there is none to comfortH5162 her: the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 concerning JacobH3290, that his adversariesH6862 should be round aboutH5439 him: JerusalemH3389 is as a menstruous womanH5079 among them.
The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784 against his commandmentH6310: hearH8085, I pray you, all peopleH5971, and beholdH7200 my sorrowH4341: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {commandment: Heb. mouth}
I calledH7121 for my loversH157, but they deceivedH7411 me: my priestsH3548 and mine eldersH2205 gave up the ghostH1478 in the cityH5892, while they soughtH1245 their meatH400 to relieveH7725 their soulsH5315.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068; for I am in distressH6887: my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560; mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 withinH7130 me; for I have grievouslyH4784 rebelledH4784: abroadH2351 the swordH2719 bereavethH7921, at homeH1004 there is as deathH4194.
They have heardH8085 that I sighH584: there is none to comfortH5162 me: all mine enemiesH341 have heardH8085 of my troubleH7451; they are gladH7797 that thou hast doneH6213 it: thou wilt bringH935 the dayH3117 that thou hast calledH7121, and they shall be likeH3644 unto me. {called: or, proclaimed}
Let all their wickednessH7451 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee; and doH5953 unto them, as thou hast doneH5953 unto me for all my transgressionsH6588: for my sighsH585 are manyH7227, and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.
There is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320 becauseH6440 of thine angerH2195; neither is there any restH7965 in my bonesH6106 becauseH6440 of my sinH2403. {rest: Heb. peace, or, health}
I reckonedH7737 till morningH1242, that, as a lionH738, so will he breakH7665 all my bonesH6106: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of me.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon AijelethH365 ShaharH7837, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. My GodH410, my GodH410, why hast thou forsakenH5800 me? why art thou so farH7350 from helpingH3444 me, and from the wordsH1697 of my roaringH7581? {Aijeleth…: or, the hind of the morning} {helping…: Heb. my salvation}
O my GodH430, I cryH7121 in the daytimeH3119, but thou hearestH6030 not; and in the night seasonH3915, and am not silentH1747. {am…: Heb. there is no silence to me}
But thou art holyH6918, O thou that inhabitestH3427 the praisesH8416 of IsraelH3478.
Our fathersH1 trustedH982 in thee: they trustedH982, and thou didst deliverH6403 them.
They criedH2199 unto thee, and were deliveredH4422: they trustedH982 in thee, and were not confoundedH954.
But I am a wormH8438, and no manH376; a reproachH2781 of menH120, and despisedH959 of the peopleH5971.
All they that seeH7200 me laugh me to scornH3932: they shoot outH6358 the lipH8193, they shakeH5128 the headH7218, saying, {shoot…: Heb. open}
He trustedH1556 on the LORDH3068 that he would deliverH6403 him: let him deliverH5337 him, seeing he delightedH2654 in him. {He trusted…: Heb. He rolled himself on} {seeing…: or, if he delight in}
But thou art he that tookH1518 me out of the wombH990: thou didst make me hopeH982 when I was upon my mother'sH517 breastsH7699. {didst…: or, kept me in safety}
I was castH7993 upon thee from the wombH7358: thou art my GodH410 from my mother'sH517 bellyH990.
Be not farH7368 from me; for troubleH6869 is nearH7138; for there is none to helpH5826. {none…: Heb. not a helper}
ManyH7227 bullsH6499 have compassedH5437 me: strongH47 bulls of BashanH1316 have beset me roundH3803.
They gapedH6475 upon me with their mouthsH6310, as a raveningH2963 and a roaringH7580 lionH738. {gaped…: Heb. opened their mouths against me}
I am poured outH8210 like waterH4325, and all my bonesH6106 are out of jointH6504: my heartH3820 is like waxH1749; it is meltedH4549 in the midstH8432 of my bowelsH4578. {out of…: or, sundered}
My strengthH3581 is dried upH3001 like a potsherdH2789; and my tongueH3956 cleavethH1692 to my jawsH4455; and thou hast broughtH8239 me into the dustH6083 of deathH4194.
For dogsH3611 have compassedH5437 me: the assemblyH5712 of the wickedH7489 have inclosedH5362 me: they piercedH3738+H738 my handsH3027 and my feetH7272.
I may tellH5608 all my bonesH6106: they lookH5027 and stareH7200 upon me.
They partH2505 my garmentsH899 among them, and castH5307 lotsH1486 upon my vestureH3830.
But be not thou farH7368 from me, O LORDH3068: O my strengthH360, hasteH2363 thee to helpH5833 me.
DeliverH5337 my soulH5315 from the swordH2719; my darlingH3173 from the powerH3027 of the dogH3611. {my darling: Heb. my only one} {power: Heb. hand}
SaveH3467 me from the lion'sH738 mouthH6310: for thou hast heardH6030 me from the hornsH7161 of the unicornsH7214.
I will declareH5608 thy nameH8034 unto my brethrenH251: in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951 will I praiseH1984 thee.
Ye that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, praiseH1984 him; all ye the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, glorifyH3513 him; and fearH1481 him, all ye the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478.
For he hath not despisedH959 nor abhorredH8262 the afflictionH6039 of the afflictedH6041; neither hath he hidH5641 his faceH6440 from him; but when he criedH7768 unto him, he heardH8085.
My praiseH8416 shall be of thee in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 before them that fearH3373 him.
The meekH6035 shall eatH398 and be satisfiedH7646: they shall praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 that seekH1875 him: your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 for everH5703.
All the endsH657 of the worldH776 shall rememberH2142 and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068: and all the kindredsH4940 of the nationsH1471 shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thee.
For the kingdomH4410 is the LORD'SH3068: and he is the governorH4910 among the nationsH1471.
All they that be fatH1879 upon earthH776 shall eatH398 and worshipH7812: all they that go downH3381 to the dustH6083 shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him: and none can keep aliveH2421 his own soulH5315.
A seedH2233 shall serveH5647 him; it shall be accountedH5608 to the LordH136 for a generationH1755.
They shall comeH935, and shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6666 unto a peopleH5971 that shall be bornH3205, that he hath doneH6213 this.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon ShoshannimH7799, A Psalm of DavidH1732. SaveH3467 me, O GodH430; for the watersH4325 are comeH935 in unto my soulH5315.
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}
I am wearyH3021 of my cryingH7121: my throatH1627 is driedH2787: mine eyesH5869 failH3615 while I waitH3176 for my GodH430.
They that hateH8130 me without a causeH2600 are moreH7231 than the hairsH8185 of mine headH7218: they that would destroyH6789 me, being mine enemiesH341 wrongfullyH8267, are mightyH6105: then I restoredH7725 that which I took not awayH1497.
O GodH430, thou knowestH3045 my foolishnessH200; and my sinsH819 are not hidH3582 from thee. {sins: Heb. guiltiness}
Let not them that waitH6960 on thee, O LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, be ashamedH954 for my sake: let not those that seekH1245 thee be confoundedH3637 for my sake, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Because for thy sake I have borneH5375 reproachH2781; shameH3639 hath coveredH3680 my faceH6440.
I am become a strangerH2114 unto my brethrenH251, and an alienH5237 unto my mother'sH517 childrenH1121.
For the zealH7068 of thine houseH1004 hath eaten me upH398; and the reproachesH2781 of them that reproachedH2778 thee are fallenH5307 upon me.
When I weptH1058, and chastened my soulH5315 with fastingH6685, that was to my reproachH2781.
I madeH5414 sackclothH8242 also my garmentH3830; and I became a proverbH4912 to them.
They that sit inH3427 the gateH8179 speakH7878 against me; and I was the songH5058 of the drunkardsH8354+H7941. {drunkards: Heb. drinkers of strong drink}
But as for me, my prayerH8605 is unto thee, O LORDH3068, in an acceptableH7522 timeH6256: O GodH430, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mercyH2617 hearH6030 me, in the truthH571 of thy salvationH3468.
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.
Let not the waterfloodH4325+H7641 overflowH7857 me, neither let the deepH4688 swallow me upH1104, and let not the pitH875 shutH332 her mouthH6310 upon me.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068; for thy lovingkindnessH2617 is goodH2896: turnH6437 unto me according to the multitudeH7230 of thy tender merciesH7356.
And hideH5641 not thy faceH6440 from thy servantH5650; for I am in troubleH6887: hearH6030 me speedilyH4118. {hear…: Heb. make haste to hear me}
Draw nighH7126 unto my soulH5315, and redeemH1350 it: deliverH6299 me because of mine enemiesH341.
Thou hast knownH3045 my reproachH2781, and my shameH1322, and my dishonourH3639: mine adversariesH6887 are all before thee.
ReproachH2781 hath brokenH7665 my heartH3820; and I am full of heavinessH5136: and I lookedH6960 for some to take pityH5110, but there was none; and for comfortersH5162, but I foundH4672 none. {to take…: Heb. to lament with me}
They gaveH5414 me also gallH7219 for my meatH1267; and in my thirstH6772 they gave me vinegarH2558 to drinkH8248.
Let their tableH7979 become a snareH6341 beforeH6440 them: and that which should have been for their welfareH7965, let it become a trapH4170.
Let their eyesH5869 be darkenedH2821, that they seeH7200 not; and make their loinsH4975 continuallyH8548 to shakeH4571.
Pour outH8210 thine indignationH2195 upon them, and let thy wrathfulH2740 angerH639 take holdH5381 of them.
Let their habitationH2918 be desolateH8074; and let none dwellH3427 in their tentsH168. {their habitation: Heb. their palace} {let none…: Heb. let there not be a dweller}
For they persecuteH7291 him whom thou hast smittenH5221; and they talkH5608 to the griefH4341 of those whom thou hast woundedH2491. {those…: Heb. thy wounded}
AddH5414 iniquityH5771 unto their iniquityH5771: and let them not comeH935 into thy righteousnessH6666. {iniquity unto…: or, punishment of iniquity, etc}
Let them be blottedH4229 out of the bookH5612 of the livingH2416, and not be writtenH3789 with the righteousH6662.
But I am poorH6041 and sorrowfulH3510: let thy salvationH3444, O GodH430, set me up on highH7682.
I will praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of GodH430 with a songH7892, and will magnifyH1431 him with thanksgivingH8426.
This also shall pleaseH3190 the LORDH3068 betterH3190 than an oxH7794 or bullockH6499 that hath hornsH7160 and hoofsH6536.
The humbleH6035 shall seeH7200 this, and be gladH8055: and your heartH3824 shall liveH2421 that seekH1875 GodH430. {humble: or, meek}
For the LORDH3068 hearethH8085 the poorH34, and despisethH959 not his prisonersH615.
Let the heavenH8064 and earthH776 praiseH1984 him, the seasH3220, and every thing that movethH7430 therein. {moveth: Heb. creepeth}
For GodH430 will saveH3467 ZionH6726, and will buildH1129 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063: that they may dwellH3427 there, and have it in possessionH3423.
The seedH2233 also of his servantsH5650 shall inheritH5157 it: and they that loveH157 his nameH8034 shall dwellH7931 therein.
My fleshH1320 is clothedH3847 with wormsH7415 and clodsH1487 of dustH6083; my skinH5785 is brokenH7280, and become loathsomeH3988.
My boneH6106 cleavethH1692 to my skinH5785 and to my fleshH1320, and I am escapedH4422 with the skinH5785 of my teethH8127. {and to: or, as to}
My skinH5785 is blackH7835 upon me, and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 with heatH2721.
And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and all his armyH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it, and builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
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.
Wilt thou shewH6213 wondersH6382 to the deadH4191? shall the deadH7496 ariseH6965 and praiseH3034 thee? SelahH5542.
Shall thy lovingkindnessH2617 be declaredH5608 in the graveH6913? or thy faithfulnessH530 in destructionH11?
Shall thy wondersH6382 be knownH3045 in the darkH2822? and thy righteousnessH6666 in the landH776 of forgetfulnessH5388?
Moreover he put outH5786 Zedekiah'sH6667 eyesH5869, and boundH631 him with chainsH5178, to carryH935 him to BabylonH894. {with…: Heb. with two brasen chains, or, fetters}
Then he put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667; and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 boundH631 him in chainsH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894, and putH5414 him in prisonH1004+H6486 till the dayH3117 of his deathH4194. {put out: Heb. blinded} {chains: or, fetters} {prison: Heb. house of the wards}
For, behold, IH589 have madeH5414 thee this dayH3117 a defencedH4013 cityH5892, and an ironH1270 pillarH5982, and brasenH5178 wallsH2346 against the whole landH776, against the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, against the princesH8269 thereof, against the priestsH3548 thereof, and against the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon AijelethH365 ShaharH7837, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. My GodH410, my GodH410, why hast thou forsakenH5800 me? why art thou so farH7350 from helpingH3444 me, and from the wordsH1697 of my roaringH7581? {Aijeleth…: or, the hind of the morning} {helping…: Heb. my salvation}
O my GodH430, I cryH7121 in the daytimeH3119, but thou hearestH6030 not; and in the night seasonH3915, and am not silentH1747. {am…: Heb. there is no silence to me}
Hath GodH410 forgottenH7911 to be graciousH2589? hath he in angerH639 shut upH7092 his tender merciesH7356? SelahH5542.
He hath fenced upH1443 my wayH734 that I cannot passH5674, and he hath setH7760 darknessH2822 in my pathsH5410.
For she did not knowH3045 that I gaveH5414 her cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and multipliedH7235 her silverH3701 and goldH2091, which they preparedH6213 for BaalH1168. {wine: Heb. new wine} {which…: or, wherewith they made Baal}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 wentH5674 furtherH3254, and stoodH5975 in a narrowH6862 placeH4725, where was no wayH1870 to turnH5186 either to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lionH7826: as a leopardH5246 by the wayH1870 will I observeH7789 them:
I will meetH6298 them as a bearH1677 that is bereavedH7909 of her whelps, and will rendH7167 the caulH5458 of their heartH3820, and there will I devourH398 them like a lionH3833: the wildH7704 beastH2416 shall tearH1234 them. {wild…: Heb. beast of the field}
As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him.
I will heapH5595 mischiefsH7451 upon them; I will spendH3615 mine arrowsH2671 upon them.
His archersH7228 compass me round aboutH5437, he cleavethH6398 my reinsH3629 asunderH6398, and doth not spareH2550; he poureth outH8210 my gallH4845 upon the groundH776.
I will blessH1288 the LORDH3068, who hath given me counselH3289: my reinsH3629 also instructH3256 me in the night seasonsH3915.
How doth the cityH5892 sitH3427 solitaryH910, that was fullH7227 of peopleH5971! how is she become as a widowH490! she that was greatH7227 among the nationsH1471, and princessH8282 among the provincesH4082, how is she become tributaryH4522!
She weepethH1058 soreH1058 in the nightH3915, and her tearsH1832 are on her cheeksH3895: among all her loversH157 she hath none to comfortH5162 her: all her friendsH7453 have dealt treacherouslyH898 with her, they are become her enemiesH341.
JudahH3063 is gone into captivityH1540 because of afflictionH6040, and because of greatH7230 servitudeH5656: she dwellethH3427 among the heathenH1471, she findethH4672 no restH4494: all her persecutorsH7291 overtookH5381 her between the straitsH4712. {because of great…: Heb. for the greatness of servitude}
The waysH1870 of ZionH6726 do mournH57, because none comeH935 to the solemn feastsH4150: all her gatesH8179 are desolateH8074: her priestsH3548 sighH584, her virginsH1330 are afflictedH3013, and she is in bitternessH4843.
Her adversariesH6862 are the chiefH7218, her enemiesH341 prosperH7951; for the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 her for the multitudeH7230 of her transgressionsH6588: her childrenH5768 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 the enemyH6862.
And from the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 all her beautyH1926 is departedH3318: her princesH8269 are become like hartsH354 that findH4672 no pastureH4829, and they are goneH3212 without strengthH3581 beforeH6440 the pursuerH7291.
JerusalemH3389 rememberedH2142 in the daysH3117 of her afflictionH6040 and of her miseriesH4788 all her pleasant thingsH4262 that she had in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, when her peopleH5971 fellH5307 into the handH3027 of the enemyH6862, and none did helpH5826 her: the adversariesH6862 sawH7200 her, and did mockH7832 at her sabbathsH4868. {pleasant: or, desirable}
JerusalemH3389 hath grievouslyH2399 sinnedH2398; therefore she is removedH5206: all that honouredH3513 her despiseH2107 her, because they have seenH7200 her nakednessH6172: yea, she sighethH584, and turnethH7725 backwardH268. {is…: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering}
Her filthinessH2932 is in her skirtsH7757; she rememberethH2142 not her last endH319; therefore she came downH3381 wonderfullyH6382: she had no comforterH5162. O LORDH3068, beholdH7200 my afflictionH6040: for the enemyH341 hath magnifiedH1431 himself.
The adversaryH6862 hath spread outH6566 his handH3027 upon all her pleasant thingsH4261: for she hath seenH7200 that the heathenH1471 enteredH935 into her sanctuaryH4720, whom thou didst commandH6680 that they should not enterH935 into thy congregationH6951. {pleasant: or, desirable}
All her peopleH5971 sighH584, they seekH1245 breadH3899; they have givenH5414 their pleasant thingsH4261+H4262 for meatH400 to relieveH7725 the soulH5315: seeH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027; for I am become vileH2151. {to…: or, to make the soul to come again}
Is it nothing to you, all ye that passH5674 byH1870? beholdH5027, and seeH7200 if there beH3426 any sorrowH4341 like unto my sorrowH4341, which is doneH5953 unto me, wherewith the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 me in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. {Is it…: or, It is nothing} {pass by: Heb. pass by the way?}
From aboveH4791 hath he sentH7971 fireH784 into my bonesH6106, and it prevailethH7287 against them: he hath spreadH6566 a netH7568 for my feetH7272, he hath turnedH7725 me backH268: he hath madeH5414 me desolateH8074 and faintH1739 all the dayH3117.
The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is boundH8244 by his handH3027: they are wreathedH8276, and come upH5927 upon my neckH6677: he hath made my strengthH3581 to fallH3782, the LordH136 hath deliveredH5414 me into their handsH3027, from whom I am not ableH3201 to rise upH6965.
The LordH136 hath trodden under footH5541 all my mightyH47 men in the midstH7130 of me: he hath calledH7121 an assemblyH4150 against me to crushH7665 my young menH970: the LordH136 hath troddenH1869 the virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063, as in a winepressH1660. {the virgin…: or, the winepress of the virgin, etc}
For these things I weepH1058; mine eyeH5869, mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with waterH4325, because the comforterH5162 that should relieveH7725 my soulH5315 is farH7368 from me: my childrenH1121 are desolateH8074, because the enemyH341 prevailedH1396. {relieve: Heb. bring back}
ZionH6726 spreadeth forthH6566 her handsH3027, and there is none to comfortH5162 her: the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 concerning JacobH3290, that his adversariesH6862 should be round aboutH5439 him: JerusalemH3389 is as a menstruous womanH5079 among them.
The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784 against his commandmentH6310: hearH8085, I pray you, all peopleH5971, and beholdH7200 my sorrowH4341: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {commandment: Heb. mouth}
I calledH7121 for my loversH157, but they deceivedH7411 me: my priestsH3548 and mine eldersH2205 gave up the ghostH1478 in the cityH5892, while they soughtH1245 their meatH400 to relieveH7725 their soulsH5315.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068; for I am in distressH6887: my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560; mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 withinH7130 me; for I have grievouslyH4784 rebelledH4784: abroadH2351 the swordH2719 bereavethH7921, at homeH1004 there is as deathH4194.
They have heardH8085 that I sighH584: there is none to comfortH5162 me: all mine enemiesH341 have heardH8085 of my troubleH7451; they are gladH7797 that thou hast doneH6213 it: thou wilt bringH935 the dayH3117 that thou hast calledH7121, and they shall be likeH3644 unto me. {called: or, proclaimed}
Let all their wickednessH7451 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee; and doH5953 unto them, as thou hast doneH5953 unto me for all my transgressionsH6588: for my sighsH585 are manyH7227, and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.
O LORDH3068, thou hast deceivedH6601 me, and I was deceivedH6601: thou art strongerH2388 than I, and hast prevailedH3201: I am in derisionH7814 dailyH3117, every one mockethH3932 me. {was deceived: or, was enticed}
He will not sufferH5414 me to takeH7725 my breathH7307, but fillethH7646 me with bitternessH4472.
And she saidH559 unto them, CallH7121 me not NaomiH5281, callH7121 me MaraH4755: for the AlmightyH7706 hath dealt veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with me. {Naomi: that is, Pleasant} {Mara: that is, Bitter}
But have walkedH3212 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their own heartH3820, and afterH310 BaalimH1168, which their fathersH1 taughtH3925 them: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030; Behold, I will feedH398 them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gallH7219: for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profanenessH2613 gone forthH3318 into all the landH776. {profaneness: or, hypocrisy}
BreadH3899 of deceitH8267 is sweetH6156 to a manH376; but afterwardsH310 his mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with gravelH2687. {deceit: Heb. lying, or, falsehood}
O daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, girdH2296 thee with sackclothH8242, and wallowH6428 thyself in ashesH665: makeH6213 thee mourningH60, as for an only sonH3173, most bitterH8563 lamentationH4553: for the spoilerH7703 shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 upon us.
