| 3:1 |
I [am] the man [who] hath seen affliction By the rod of His wrath.
|
| 3:2 |
Me He hath led, and causeth to go [in] darkness, and without light.
|
| 3:3 |
Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all the day.
|
| 3:4 |
He hath worn out my flesh and my skin. He hath broken my bones.
|
| 3:5 |
He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and weariness.
|
| 3:6 |
In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.
|
| 3:7 |
He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.
|
| 3:8 |
Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer.
|
| 3:9 |
He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.
|
| 3:10 |
A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.
|
| 3:11 |
My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces, He hath made me a desolation.
|
| 3:12 |
He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.
|
| 3:13 |
He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His quiver.
|
| 3:14 |
I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.
|
| 3:15 |
He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me [with] wormwood.
|
| 3:16 |
And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me with ashes.
|
| 3:17 |
And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten prosperity.
|
| 3:18 |
And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from Jehovah.
|
| 3:19 |
Remember my affliction and my mourning, Wormwood and gall!
|
| 3:20 |
Remember well, and bow down doth my soul in me.
|
| 3:21 |
This I turn to my heart -- therefore I hope.
|
| 3:22 |
The kindnesses of Jehovah! For we have not been consumed, For not ended have His mercies.
|
| 3:23 |
New every morning, abundant [is] thy faithfulness.
|
| 3:24 |
My portion [is] Jehovah, hath my soul said, Therefore I hope for Him.
|
| 3:25 |
Good [is] Jehovah to those waiting for Him, To the soul [that] seeketh Him.
|
| 3:26 |
Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah.
|
| 3:27 |
Good for a man that he beareth a yoke in his youth.
|
| 3:28 |
He sitteth alone, and is silent, For He hath laid [it] upon him.
|
| 3:29 |
He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope.
|
| 3:30 |
He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach.
|
| 3:31 |
For the Lord doth not cast off to the age.
|
| 3:32 |
For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness.
|
| 3:33 |
For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.
|
| 3:34 |
To bruise under one's feet any bound ones of earth,
|
| 3:35 |
To turn aside the judgment of a man, Over-against the face of the Most High,
|
| 3:36 |
To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord hath not approved.
|
| 3:37 |
Who [is] this -- he hath said, and it is, [And] the Lord hath not commanded [it]?
|
| 3:38 |
From the mouth of the Most High Go not forth the evils and the good.
|
| 3:39 |
What -- sigh habitually doth a living man, A man for his sin?
|
| 3:40 |
We search our ways, and investigate, And turn back unto Jehovah.
|
| 3:41 |
We lift up our heart on the hands unto God in the heavens.
|
| 3:42 |
We -- we have transgressed and rebelled, Thou -- Thou hast not forgiven.
|
| 3:43 |
Thou hast covered Thyself with anger, And dost pursue us; Thou hast slain -- Thou hast not pitied.
|
| 3:44 |
Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, So that prayer doth not pass through.
|
| 3:45 |
Offscouring and refuse Thou dost make us In the midst of the peoples.
|
| 3:46 |
Opened against us their mouth have all our enemies.
|
| 3:47 |
Fear and a snare hath been for us, Desolation and destruction.
|
| 3:48 |
Rivulets of water go down my eye, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.
|
| 3:49 |
Mine eye is poured out, And doth not cease without intermission,
|
| 3:50 |
Till Jehovah looketh and seeth from the heavens,
|
| 3:51 |
My eye affecteth my soul, Because of all the daughters of my city.
|
| 3:52 |
Hunted me sore as a bird have my enemies without cause.
|
| 3:53 |
They have cut off in a pit my life, And they cast a stone against me.
|
| 3:54 |
Flowed have waters over my head, I have said, I have been cut off.
|
| 3:55 |
I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit.
|
| 3:56 |
My voice Thou hast heard, Hide not Thine ear at my breathing -- at my cry.
|
| 3:57 |
Thou hast drawn near in the day I call Thee, Thou hast said, Fear not.
|
| 3:58 |
Thou hast pleaded, O Lord, the pleadings of my soul, Thou hast redeemed my life.
|
| 3:59 |
Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, my overthrow, Judge Thou my cause.
|
| 3:60 |
Thou hast seen all their vengeance, All their thoughts of me.
|
| 3:61 |
Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, All their thoughts against me,
|
| 3:62 |
The lips of my withstanders, Even their meditation against me all the day.
|
| 3:63 |
Their sitting down, and their rising up, Behold attentively, I [am] their song.
|
| 3:64 |
Thou returnest to them the deed, O Jehovah, According to the work of their hands.
|
| 3:65 |
Thou givest to them a covered heart, Thy curse to them.
|
| 3:66 |
Thou pursuest in anger, and destroyest them, From under the heavens of Jehovah!
