| 3:1 |
I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
|
| 3:2 |
Me hath he led, and brought into darkness, and not into light.
|
| 3:3 |
Surely against me hath he turned again and again his hand all the day.
|
| 3:4 |
My flesh and my skin hath he wasted away, he hath broken my bones.
|
| 3:5 |
He hath built against me, and encompassed [me] with gall and toil.
|
| 3:6 |
He hath made me to dwell in dark places as those that have been long dead.
|
| 3:7 |
He hath hedged me about that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
|
| 3:8 |
Even when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
|
| 3:9 |
He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
|
| 3:10 |
He is unto me [as] a bear lying in wait, a lion in secret places.
|
| 3:11 |
He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he hath made me desolate.
|
| 3:12 |
He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
|
| 3:13 |
He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
|
| 3:14 |
I am become a derision to all my people; their song all the day.
|
| 3:15 |
He hath sated me with bitterness, he hath made me drunk with wormwood.
|
| 3:16 |
He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
|
| 3:17 |
And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I have forgotten prosperity.
|
| 3:18 |
And I said, My strength is perished, and my hope in Jehovah.
|
| 3:19 |
Remember thou mine affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
|
| 3:20 |
My soul hath [them] constantly in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
|
| 3:21 |
-- This I recall to heart, therefore have I hope.
|
| 3:22 |
It is of Jehovah's loving-kindness we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not;
|
| 3:23 |
they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
|
| 3:24 |
Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
|
| 3:25 |
Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul [that] seeketh him.
|
| 3:26 |
It is good that one should both wait, and that in silence, for the salvation of Jehovah.
|
| 3:27 |
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth:
|
| 3:28 |
He sitteth solitary and keepeth silence, because he hath laid it upon him;
|
| 3:29 |
he putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope;
|
| 3:30 |
he giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him; he is filled full with reproach.
|
| 3:31 |
For the Lord will not cast off for ever;
|
| 3:32 |
but if he have caused grief, he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses:
|
| 3:33 |
for he doth not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men.
|
| 3:34 |
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
|
| 3:35 |
to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
|
| 3:36 |
to wrong a man in his cause, -- will not the Lord see it?
|
| 3:37 |
Who is he that saith, and there cometh to pass, what the Lord hath not commanded?
|
| 3:38 |
Out of the mouth of the Most High doth not there proceed evil and good?
|
| 3:39 |
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
|
| 3:40 |
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.
|
| 3:41 |
Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens.
|
| 3:42 |
We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
|
| 3:43 |
Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not spared.
|
| 3:44 |
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that prayer should not pass through.
|
| 3:45 |
Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
|
| 3:46 |
All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
|
| 3:47 |
Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and ruin.
|
| 3:48 |
Mine eye runneth down with streams of water for the ruin of the daughter of my people.
|
| 3:49 |
Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
|
| 3:50 |
till Jehovah look down and behold from the heavens.
|
| 3:51 |
Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
|
| 3:52 |
They that are mine enemies without cause have chased me sore like a bird.
|
| 3:53 |
They have cut off my life in a pit, and cast a stone upon me.
|
| 3:54 |
Waters streamed over my head; I said, I am cut off.
|
| 3:55 |
I called upon thy name, Jehovah, out of the lowest pit.
|
| 3:56 |
Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.
|
| 3:57 |
Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou saidst, Fear not.
|
| 3:58 |
Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul, thou hast redeemed my life.
|
| 3:59 |
Jehovah, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
|
| 3:60 |
Thou hast seen all their vengeance, all their imaginations against me.
|
| 3:61 |
Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, all their imaginations against me;
|
| 3:62 |
the lips of those that rise up against me and their meditation against me all the day.
|
| 3:63 |
Behold thou their sitting down and their rising up: I am their song.
|
| 3:64 |
Render unto them a recompence, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands;
|
| 3:65 |
give them obduracy of heart, thy curse unto them;
|
| 3:66 |
pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.
