• 1. I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

• 2. He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light;

• 3. indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.

• 4. He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones.

• 5. He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.

• 6. He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead.

• 7. He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains.

• 8. Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.

• 9. He has barred my way with blocks of stone; he has made my paths crooked.

• 10. Like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in hiding,

• 11. he dragged me from the path and mangled me and left me without help.

• 12. He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrows.

• 13. He pierced my heart with arrows from his quiver.

• 14. I became the laughingstock of all my people; they mock me in song all day long.

• 15. He has filled me with bitter herbs and sated me with gall.

• 16. He has broken my teeth with gravel; he has trampled me in the dust.

• 17. I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.

• 18. So I say, "My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the LORD."

• 19. I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.

• 20. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.

• 21. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:

• 22. Because of the LORD'S great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

• 23. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

• 24. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."

• 25. The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

• 26. it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.

• 27. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young.

• 28. Let him sit alone in silence, for the LORD has laid it on him.

• 29. Let him bury his face in the dust--there may yet be hope.

• 30. Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace.

• 31. For men are not cast off by the Lord forever.

• 32. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.

• 33. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.

• 34. To crush underfoot all prisoners in the land,

• 35. to deny a man his rights before the Most High,

• 36. to deprive a man of justice--would not the Lord see such things?

• 37. Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?

• 38. Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?

• 39. Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?

• 40. Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD.

• 41. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say:

• 42. "We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven.

• 43. "You have covered yourself with anger and pursued us; you have slain without pity.

• 44. You have covered yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through.

• 45. You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.

• 46. "All our enemies have opened their mouths wide against us.

• 47. We have suffered terror and pitfalls, ruin and destruction."

• 48. Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed.

• 49. My eyes will flow unceasingly, without relief,

• 50. until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.

• 51. What I see brings grief to my soul because of all the women of my city.

• 52. Those who were my enemies without cause hunted me like a bird.

• 53. They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me;

• 54. the waters closed over my head, and I thought I was about to be cut off.

• 55. I called on your name, O LORD, from the depths of the pit.

• 56. You heard my plea: "Do not close your ears to my cry for relief."

• 57. You came near when I called you, and you said, "Do not fear."

• 58. O Lord, you took up my case; you redeemed my life.

• 59. You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me. Uphold my cause!

• 60. You have seen the depth of their vengeance, all their plots against me.

• 61. O LORD, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me--

• 62. what my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long.

• 63. Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs.

• 64. Pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, for what their hands have done.

• 65. Put a veil over their hearts, and may your curse be on them!

• 66. Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
