The reproaches2781 of those who reproach2778 you have fallen5307 on me. cr 10 When I wept1058 and I5315 fasted,6685 that was to my reproach.2781 cr 11 When I made5414 sackcloth8242 my clothing,3830 I became a byword4912 to them. cr 12 Those who sit in3427 the gate8179 talk7878 about me. I am the song5058 of the drunkards.8354 cr 13 But as for me, my prayer8605 is to you, Yahweh,3068 in an acceptable7522 time.6256 God,430 in the abundance7230 of your loving kindness,2617 answer6030 me in the truth571 of your salvation.3468 cr 14 Deliver5337 me out of the mire,2916 and don't let me sink.2883 Let me be delivered5337 from those who hate8130 me, and out of the deep4615 waters.4325 cr 15 Don't let the flood4325 waters overwhelm7857 me, neither let the deep4688 swallow me up.1104 Don't let the pit875 shut332 its mouth6310 on me. cr 16 Answer6030 me, Yahweh,3068 for your loving kindness2617 is good.2896 According to the multitude7230 of your tender mercies,7356 turn6437 to me. cr 17 Don't hide5641 your face6440 from your servant,5650 for I am in distress.6887 Answer6030 me speedily!4118 cr 18 Draw near7126 to my soul,5315 and redeem1350 it. Ransom6299 me because of my enemies.341 cr 19 You know3045 my reproach,2781 my shame,2781 and my dishonor.1322 My adversaries6887 are all before you. cr 20 Reproach2781 has broken7665 my heart,3820 and I am full of heaviness.5136 I looked6960 for some to take pity,5110 but there was none; for comforters,5162 but I found4672 none. cr 21 They also gave5414 me gall7219 for my food.1267 In my thirst,6772 they gave me vinegar2558 to drink.8248 cr 22 Let their table7979 before6440 them become a snare.6341 May it become a retribution7965 and a trap.4170 cr 23 Let their eyes5869 be darkened,2821 so that they can't see.7200 Let their backs4975 be continually8548 bent.4571 cr 24 Pour out8210 your indignation2195 on them. Let the fierceness2740 of your anger639 overtake5381 them. cr 25 Let their habitation2918 be desolate.8074 Let no one dwell3427 in their tents.168 cr 26 For they persecute7291 him whom you have wounded.5221 They tell5608 of the sorrow4341 of those whom you have hurt.2491 cr 27 Charge5414 them with crime5771 upon crime.5771 Don't let them come935 into your righteousness.6666 cr 28 Let them be blotted4229 out of the book5612 of life,2416 and not be written3789 with the righteous.6662 cr 29 But I am in pain6041 and distress.3510 Let your salvation,3444 God,430 protect7682 me. cr 30 I will praise1984 the name8034 of God430 with a song,7892 and will magnify1431 him with thanksgiving.8426 cr 31 It will please3190 Yahweh3068 better3190 than an ox,7794 or a bull7794 that has horns7160 and hoofs.6536 cr 32 The humble6035 have seen7200 it, and are glad.8055 You who seek1875 after God,430 let your heart3824 live.2421 cr 33 For Yahweh3068 hears8085 the needy,34 and doesn't despise959 his captive615 people. cr 34 Let heaven8064 and earth776 praise1984 him; the seas,3220 and everything that moves7430 therein! cr 35 For God430 will save3467 Zion,6726 and build1129 the cities5892 of Judah.3063 They shall settle there, and own it. cr 36 The children2233 also of his servants5650 shall inherit5157 it. Those who love157 his name8034 shall dwell7931 therein. cr
