³ In the morning,^(D) Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you^(E) and watch expectantly.

⁴ For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil cannot dwell with you.^(F)
5 The boastful cannot stand in your sight;^(G)
you hate all evildoers.^(H)
6 You destroy those who tell lies;^(I)
the Lord abhors violent and treacherous people.^(J)

⁷ But I enter your house
by the abundance of your faithful love;^(K)
I bow down toward your holy temple
in reverential awe of you.^(L)
8 Lord, lead me in your righteousness^(M)
because of my adversaries;
make your way straight before me.^(N)

⁹ For there is nothing reliable in what they say;^(O)
destruction is within them;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongues.^(P)
10 Punish them, God;
let them fall by their own schemes.^(Q)
Drive them out^(R) because of their many crimes,
for they rebel against you.^(S)

¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;^(T)
let them shout for joy forever.
May you shelter them,^(U)
and may those who love your name boast about you.^(V)
12 For you, Lord, bless the righteous one;
you surround him with favor like a shield.^(W)

³ There is no soundness in my body
because of your indignation;
there is no health^[a] in my bones
because of my sin.^(D)
4 For my iniquities have flooded over my head;
they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.^(E)
5 My wounds are foul and festering
because of my foolishness.^(F)
6 I am bent over and brought very low;
all day long I go around in mourning.^(G)
7 For my insides are full of burning pain,
and there is no soundness in my body.^(H)
8 I am faint and severely crushed;
I groan because of the anguish of my heart.^(I)

⁹ Lord, my every desire is in front of you;
my sighing is not hidden from you.^(J)
10 My heart races, my strength leaves me,
and even the light of my eyes has faded.^[b](K)
11 My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction,
and my relatives stand at a distance.^(L)
12 Those who intend to kill me set traps,
and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me;
they plot treachery all day long.^(M)

¹³ I am like a deaf person; I do not hear.
I am like a speechless person
who does not open his mouth.^(N)
14 I am like a man who does not hear
and has no arguments in his mouth.^(O)
15 For I put my hope in you, Lord;
you will answer me, my Lord, my God.^(P)
16 For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—
those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”^(Q)
17 For I am about to fall,
and my pain is constantly with me.^(R)
18 So I confess my iniquity;
I am anxious because of my sin.^(S)
19 But my enemies are vigorous and powerful;^[c]
many hate me for no reason.^(T)
20 Those who repay evil for good
attack me for pursuing good.^(U)

²¹ Lord, do not abandon me;
my God, do not be far from me.^(V)
22 Hurry to help me,
my Lord, my salvation.^(W)

⁴ I said, “Lord, be gracious to me;
heal me, for I have sinned against you.”^(E)
5 My enemies speak maliciously about me:
“When will he die and be forgotten?” ^(F)
6 When one of them comes to visit, he speaks deceitfully;
he stores up evil in his heart;
he goes out and talks.^(G)
7 All who hate me whisper together about me;
they plan to harm me.^(H)
8 “Something awful has overwhelmed him,^[a]
and he won’t rise again from where he lies!” ^(I)
9 Even my friend^[b] in whom I trusted,
one who ate my bread,
has raised his heel against me.^(J)

¹⁰ But you, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up;
then I will repay them.^(K)
11 By this I know that you delight in me:^(L)
my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.^(M)
12 You supported me because of my integrity^(N)
and set me in your presence forever.^(O)

¹³ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and amen.^(P)

⁵ Why, my soul, are you so dejected?
Why are you in such turmoil?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him,
my Savior and my God.^(V)
6 I^[c] am deeply depressed;
therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan
and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.^(W)
7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your breakers and your billows have swept over me.^(X)
8 The Lord will send his faithful love by day;^(Y)
his song will be with me in the night—
a prayer to the God of my life.

⁹ I will say to God, my rock,^(Z)
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?” ^(AA)
10 My adversaries taunt me,
as if crushing my bones,
while all day long they say to me,
“Where is your God?” ^(AB)
11 Why, my soul, are you so dejected?
Why are you in such turmoil?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him,
my Savior and my God.^(AC)
