## Text

[1] Save me, O God,
for the waters are up to my neck. [2] I have sunk into the miry depths,
where there is no footing;
I have drifted into deep waters,
where the flood engulfs me. [3] I am weary from my crying;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
looking for my God. [4] Those who hate me without cause
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are those who would destroy me—
my enemies for no reason.
Though I did not steal,
I must repay. [5] You know my folly, O God,
and my guilt is not hidden from You. [6] May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me,
O Lord GOD of Hosts;
may those who seek You not be dishonored through me,
O God of Israel. [7] For I have endured scorn for Your sake,
and shame has covered my face. [8] I have become a stranger to my brothers
and a foreigner to my mother’s sons, [9] because zeal for Your house has consumed me,
and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me. [10] I wept and fasted,
but it brought me reproach. [11] I made sackcloth my clothing,
and I was sport to them. [12] Those who sit at the gate mock me,
and I am the song of drunkards. [13] But my prayer to You, O LORD,
is for a time of favor.
In Your abundant loving devotion, O God,
answer me with Your sure salvation. [14] Rescue me from the mire
and do not let me sink;
deliver me from my foes
and out of the deep waters. [15] Do not let the floods engulf me
or the depths swallow me up;
let not the Pit close its mouth over me. [16] Answer me, O LORD,
for Your loving devotion is good;
turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion. [17] Hide not Your face from Your servant,
for I am in distress.
Answer me quickly! [18] Draw near to my soul and redeem me;
ransom me because of my foes. [19] You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace.
All my adversaries are before You. [20] Insults have broken my heart,
and I am in despair.
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters, but I found no one. [21] They poisoned my food with gall
and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst. [22] May their table become a snare;
may it be a retribution and a trap. [23] May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever. [24] Pour out Your wrath upon them,
and let Your burning anger overtake them. [25] May their place be deserted;
let there be no one to dwell in their tents. [26] For they persecute the one You struck
and recount the pain of those You wounded. [27] Add iniquity to their iniquity;
let them not share in Your righteousness. [28] May they be blotted out of the Book of Life
and not listed with the righteous. [29] But I am in pain and distress;
let Your salvation protect me, O God. [30] I will praise God’s name in song
and exalt Him with thanksgiving. [31] And this will please the LORD more than an ox,
more than a bull with horns and hooves. [32] The humble will see and rejoice.
You who seek God, let your hearts be revived! [33] For the LORD listens to the needy
and does not despise His captive people. [34] Let heaven and earth praise Him,
the seas and everything that moves in them. [35] For God will save Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah,
that they may dwell there and possess it. [36] The descendants of His servants will inherit it,
and those who love His name will settle in it.
