Young's Literal Translation
For
the choirmaster
. To
the tune
of
“
Lilies .”
Of
David. Save me, O God, for the
waters are
up
to
my
neck
.
To
the Overseer
. --
`On
the Lilies ,'
by
David. Save me, O God, for come
have
waters unto
the
soul
.
I have sunk into
the
miry
depths
, where
there is no footing;
I have drifted
into deep
waters, where
the
flood engulfs
me.
I have sunk in
deep
mire
, And
there is no standing,
I have come
into the
depths
of
the
waters, And
a
flood hath
overflown
me.
I am
weary
from
my crying;
my throat is
parched.
My
eyes fail
, looking
for my God.
I have
been
wearied
with
my calling,
Burnt
hath
been
my throat ,
Consumed
have
been
mine
eyes, waiting
for my God.
Those who
hate
me without cause outnumber
the hairs of my head ;
many
are
those
who
would
destroy
me—
my enemies for
no
reason.
Though
I did
not steal,
I must
repay
.
Those hating
me without cause Have
been
more
than
the hairs of my head ,
Mighty
have
been
my destroyers,
My
lying
enemies ,
That
which
I took
not away
--
I bring
back
.
You
know
my
folly,
O God, and my guilt
is
not
hidden
from You
.
O God, Thou
--
Thou
hast
known
Concerning
my
overturn,
And my desolations
from Thee
have
not
been
hid
.
May
those
who
hope
in
You
not be ashamed through
me, O Lord GOD
of Hosts ;
may
those
who
seek
You
not be
dishonored
through
me, O God of Israel.
Let
not those
waiting
on
Thee
be ashamed because
of
me, O Lord ,
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
Let
not those
seeking
Thee
Blush
because
of
me, O God of Israel.
For I have endured
scorn
for
Your
sake
, and
shame has
covered my face.
For because
of
Thee
I have borne
reproach
, Shame hath
covered my face.
I
have
become
a stranger to my brothers
and a foreigner to my
mother’s
sons ,
A stranger I
have
been
to my brother,
And a foreigner to sons of
my
mother.
because
zeal for Your
house has
consumed me, and the insults
of those
who
insult
You
have fallen on
me.
For
zeal for Thy
house hath
consumed me, And the reproaches
of Thy
reproachers
Have fallen upon
me.
I
wept
and fasted
, but
it brought
me
reproach.
And I
weep
in
the
fasting
of
my
soul
, And
it is
for
a
reproach to
me
.
I made
sackcloth
my clothing, and I was
sport
to them.
And
I make
my clothing sackcloth
, And I am
to them for
a
simile
.
Those who
sit
at the gate mock
me, and I
am
the
song
of
drunkards
.
Those sitting
at the gate meditate
concerning
me, And those
drinking
strong
drink,
Play
on
instruments
.
But
my prayer to You
, O LORD
, is
for
a time of favor.
In
Your
abundant
loving
devotion
, O God, answer me with
Your
sure
salvation.
And
I
--
my prayer `is'
to Thee
, O Jehovah
, A time of good
pleasure
, O God, In
the
abundance
of
Thy
kindness,
Answer me in
the
truth
of
Thy
salvation.
Rescue
me from the mire and do
not
let me sink ;
deliver
me from my
foes
and out
of
the
deep waters.
Deliver
me from the mire ,
and let me not
sink ,
Let
me be
delivered
from those
hating
me,
And from
deep places
of
waters.
Do
not
let the
floods
engulf
me or
the depths
swallow me up ;
let not
the Pit close
its
mouth over
me.
Let not
a
flood
of
waters
overflow
me ,
Nor
let
the deep
swallow me up ,
Nor
let the pit shut
her
mouth upon
me.
Answer me, O LORD
, for Your
loving
devotion
is
good ;
turn
to me in
keeping
with
Your
great
compassion.
Answer me, O Jehovah
, for good `is'
Thy
kindness,
According
to the
abundance
Of
Thy
mercies
turn
Thou
unto
me ,
Hide not Your
face from Your
servant, for I am in distress .
Answer me quickly!
And
hide not Thy
face from Thy
servant, For I am in distress --
haste,
answer me .
Draw
near to
my soul and
redeem me;
ransom
me
because of my
foes
.
Be
near unto
my soul --
redeem it,
Because of mine
enemies
ransom
me
.
You
know
my reproach, my shame and disgrace.
All
my adversaries
are
before You
.
Thou
--
Thou
hast
known
my reproach, And
my shame ,
and my blushing,
Before Thee
`are'
all
mine
adversaries
.
Insults
have
broken my heart, and I am in
despair.
I looked
for sympathy
, but
there was
none, for comforters, but
I found no
one
.
Reproach
hath
broken my heart, and I am sick,
And
I look
for a
bemoaner
, and
there is
none, And
for comforters, and
I have
found none
.
They poisoned
my food with
gall and gave
me
vinegar
to
quench
my thirst.
And
they give
for
my food gall ,
And for
my thirst cause
me
to
drink
vinegar
.
May
their table become
a snare ;
may
it
be
a
retribution
and a trap.
Their table before
them
is
for
a snare ,
And for
a recompence
--
for
a
trap.
May
their eyes be
darkened
so
they
cannot
see
, and their backs
be
bent
forever
.
Darkened
are
their eyes from
seeing
, And their loins
continually
shake
Thou
.
Pour out
Your
wrath
upon them, and let
Your
burning
anger overtake
them.
Pour upon them Thine
indignation
, And the
fierceness
of
Thine
anger doth
seize
them.
May
their place
be
deserted;
let
there
be
no
one
to
dwell
in their tents.
Their tower
is
desolated,
In their tents there
is
no
dweller
.
For they persecute
the
one
You
struck
and recount the pain of those
You
wounded
.
For they have
pursued
him
Thou
hast
smitten,
And recount of
the pain of Thy
pierced
ones
.
Add
iniquity
to
their iniquity ;
let
them
not share
in
Your
righteousness.
Give
punishment
for
their iniquity ,
And
they
enter
not into
Thy
righteousness.
May
they be
blotted out of the Book of Life and not
listed
with the righteous.
They are
blotted out of the book of life ,
And with the righteous are
not
written
.
But
I am in
pain
and distress;
let
Your
salvation protect
me
, O God.
And
I `
am '
afflicted
and pained,
Thy
salvation, O God ,
doth
set
me
on
high
.
I will
praise God’s
name in
song and exalt
Him with thanksgiving .
I praise the
name of
God
with
a
song ,
And I
magnify
Him with thanksgiving ,
And this
will
please
the
LORD
more
than an ox, more
than
a bull
with
horns
and
hooves
.
And it
is
better
to
Jehovah
than an ox, A bullock
--
horned
--
hoofed
.
The humble will
see
and
rejoice .
You
who seek God ,
let
your hearts
be
revived!
The humble have
seen
--
they
rejoice ,
Ye
who seek God --
and
your heart
liveth.
For the
LORD
listens
to
the needy and does
not
despise
His captive
people
.
For Jehovah
hearkeneth
unto
the needy ,
And His bound
ones
He
hath
not
despised
.
Let
heaven
and earth praise Him, the
seas and everything
that
moves
in them.
The
heavens
and earth do
praise Him, Seas ,
and every
moving
thing
in them.
For God will
save Zion and rebuild
the cities of Judah, that
they may
dwell
there and possess it.
For God doth
save Zion ,
And doth
build
the cities of Judah, And
they have
dwelt
there ,
and possess it.
The descendants
of His servants will
inherit it, and those who
love
His name will
settle
in it .
And
the seed
of His servants inherit it, And those loving
His name dwell
in it !
