⁴ Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
    save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
⁵ For in ^(H)death there is no remembrance of you;
    in Sheol who will give you praise?

⁶ I am ^(I)weary with my ^(J)moaning;
    every night I flood my bed with tears;
    I drench my couch with my weeping.
⁷ My ^(K)eye wastes away because of grief;
    it grows weak because of all my foes.

^8 (L)Depart from me, all you ^(M)workers of evil,
    for the Lord ^(N)has heard the sound of my weeping.
⁹ The Lord has heard my ^(O)plea;
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
¹⁰ All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
    they shall ^(P)turn back and be put to shame in a moment.

^3 (E)Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
    ^(F)light up my eyes, lest ^(G)I sleep the sleep of death,
^4 (H)lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
    lest my foes rejoice because I am ^(I)shaken.

⁵ But I have ^(J)trusted in your steadfast love;
    my heart shall ^(K)rejoice in your salvation.
⁶ I will sing to the Lord,
    because he has dealt bountifully with me.

³ Yet you are ^(E)holy,
    ^(F)enthroned on ^(G)the praises^[a] of Israel.
⁴ In you our fathers trusted;
    they trusted, and you delivered them.
⁵ To you they ^(H)cried and were rescued;
    in you they ^(I)trusted and were not put to shame.

⁶ But I am ^(J)a worm and not a man,
    ^(K)scorned by mankind and ^(L)despised by the people.
⁷ All who see me ^(M)mock me;
    they make mouths at me; they ^(N)wag their heads;
^8 (O)“He trusts in the Lord; let him ^(P)deliver him;
    let him rescue him, for he ^(Q)delights in him!”

⁹ Yet you are he who ^(R)took me from the womb;
    you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
¹⁰ On you was I cast from my birth,
    and from ^(S)my mother's womb you have been my God.
¹¹ Be not ^(T)far from me,
    for trouble is near,
    and there is ^(U)none to help.

¹² Many bulls encompass me;
    ^(V)strong bulls of ^(W)Bashan surround me;
¹³ they ^(X)open wide their mouths at me,
    like a ravening and roaring lion.

¹⁴ I am ^(Y)poured out like water,
    and all my bones are ^(Z)out of joint;
my ^(AA)heart is like ^(AB)wax;
    it is melted within my breast;
¹⁵ my strength is ^(AC)dried up like a potsherd,
    and my ^(AD)tongue sticks to my jaws;
    you lay me in the dust of death.

¹⁶ For ^(AE)dogs encompass me;
    a company of evildoers ^(AF)encircles me;
they have ^(AG)pierced my hands and feet^[b]—
¹⁷ I can count all my bones—
they ^(AH)stare and gloat over me;
^18 (AI)they divide my garments among them,
    and for my clothing they cast lots.

¹⁹ But you, O Lord, ^(AJ)do not be far off!
    O you my help, ^(AK)come quickly to my aid!
²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword,
    my precious life from the power of ^(AL)the dog!
²¹     Save me from ^(AM)the mouth of the lion!
You have rescued^[c] me from the horns of ^(AN)the wild oxen!

^22 (AO)I will tell of your name to my ^(AP)brothers;
    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
²³ You who ^(AQ)fear the Lord, praise him!
    All you offspring of Jacob, ^(AR)glorify him,
    and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
²⁴ For he has not despised or abhorred
    the affliction of ^(AS)the afflicted,
and he has not ^(AT)hidden his face from him,
    but has heard, when he ^(AU)cried to him.

²⁵ From you comes my praise in the great ^(AV)congregation;
    my ^(AW)vows I will ^(AX)perform before those who fear him.
^26 (AY)The afflicted^[d] shall ^(AZ)eat and be satisfied;
    those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
    May your hearts ^(BA)live forever!

²⁷ All ^(BB)the ends of the earth shall remember
    and turn to the Lord,
and all ^(BC)the families of the nations
    shall worship before you.
²⁸ For ^(BD)kingship belongs to the Lord,
    and he rules over the nations.

²⁹ All ^(BE)the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
    before him shall ^(BF)bow all who go down to the dust,
    even the one who could not ^(BG)keep himself alive.
³⁰ Posterity shall serve him;
    it shall be told of the Lord to the coming ^(BH)generation;
³¹ they shall ^(BI)come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet ^(BJ)unborn,
    that he has done it.

^5 (L)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you ^(M)in turmoil within me?
^(N)Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation^{[c] 6} and my God.

My soul is cast down within me;
    therefore I ^(O)remember you
^(P)from the land of Jordan and of ^(Q)Hermon,
    from Mount Mizar.
⁷ Deep calls to deep
    at the roar of your waterfalls;
^(R)all your breakers and your ^(S)waves
    have gone over me.
⁸ By day the Lord ^(T)commands his steadfast love,
    and at ^(U)night his song is with me,
    a prayer to the God of my life.
⁹ I say to God, ^(V)my rock:
    “Why have you forgotten me?
^(W)Why do I go mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?”
¹⁰ As with a deadly wound in my bones,
    my adversaries taunt me,
^(X)while they say to me all the day long,
    “Where is your God?”

^11 (Y)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation and my God.

^3 (AF)Send out your light and your truth;
    let them lead me;
let them bring me to your ^(AG)holy hill
    and to your ^(AH)dwelling!
⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God,
    to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
    O God, my God.

^5 (AI)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
^(AJ)Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation and my God.

³ For my soul is full of troubles,
    and ^(G)my life draws near to ^(H)Sheol.
⁴ I am counted among those who ^(I)go down to the pit;
    I am a man who has no strength,
⁵ like one set loose among the dead,
    like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom ^(J)you remember no more,
    for they are ^(K)cut off from your hand.
⁶ You have put me in ^(L)the depths of the pit,
    in the ^(M)regions dark and ^(N)deep.
⁷ Your wrath ^(O)lies heavy upon me,
    and you overwhelm me with ^(P)all your waves. Selah

⁸ You have caused ^(Q)my companions to shun me;
    you have made me ^(R)a horror^[b] to them.
I am ^(S)shut in so that I cannot escape;
^{9     (T)}my eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
    I ^(U)spread out my hands to you.
¹⁰ Do you work wonders for the dead?
    ^(V)Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
¹¹ Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
    or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
¹² Are your ^(W)wonders known in ^(X)the darkness,
    or your righteousness in the land of ^(Y)forgetfulness?

¹³ But I, O Lord, cry ^(Z)to you;
    ^(AA)in the morning my prayer comes before you.
¹⁴ O Lord, why ^(AB)do you cast my soul away?
    Why ^(AC)do you hide your face from me?
¹⁵ Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
    I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.^[c]
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
    your ^(AD)dreadful assaults destroy me.
¹⁷ They ^(AE)surround me like a flood ^(AF)all day long;
    they ^(AG)close in on me together.
¹⁸ You have caused ^(AH)my beloved and my friend to shun me;
    my companions have become darkness.^[d]
