Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand [in judgment]; Do not forget the suffering.

The sorrows [pain and suffering] of those who have chosen another god will be multiplied [because of their idolatry]; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

For He has not despised nor detested the suffering of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He listened.

You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh [at our suffering] among themselves.

I was afflicted and close to death from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.

Make us glad in proportion to the days You have afflicted us, And the years we have suffered evil.

Because of the sound of my groaning [in suffering and trouble] My bones cling to my flesh.

Because the man did not remember to show kindness, But persecuted the suffering and needy man, And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

For I am suffering and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.

“The [enemies, like] plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows [of suffering] long [in Israel].”
