To
the Overseer
. --
`On
the Lilies ,'
by
David. Save me, O God, for come
have
waters
unto
the soul
.
For
the choirmaster
. To
the tune
of
“
Lilies .”
Of
David. Save me, O God, for the waters
are
up
to
my
neck
.
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 have sunk into
the
miry
depths
, where
there is no footing;
I have drifted
into deep
waters, where
the
flood engulfs
me.
I have
been
wearied
with
my calling,
Burnt
hath
been
my throat ,
Consumed
have
been
mine
eyes, waiting
for my God.
I am
weary
from
my crying;
my throat is
parched.
My
eyes fail
, looking
for my God.
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
.
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
.
O God, Thou
--
Thou
hast
known
Concerning
my
overturn,
And my desolations
from
Thee
have
not been
hid
.
You
know
my
folly,
O God, and my guilt
is
not hidden
from
You
.

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.
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.
For because
of
Thee
I have borne
reproach
, Shame hath
covered my face.

scorn
for
Your
sake
, and
shame has
covered my face.
A
stranger
I have been
to my brother,
And a foreigner to sons
of
my mother.

a
stranger
to my brothers
and a foreigner to my mother’s
sons,
For
zeal for Thy
house hath
consumed me, And the reproaches
of Thy
reproachers
Have fallen upon
me.
because
zeal for Your
house has
consumed me, and the insults
of those
who
insult
You
have fallen on
me.

I weep
in
the
fasting
of
my
soul,
And it is
for
a
reproach
to
me.

and fasted,
but
it brought
me reproach
.
And
I make
my clothing sackcloth
, And I am
to them for
a
simile
.

sackcloth
my clothing, and I was
sport
to them.
Those sitting
at the gate meditate
concerning
me, And those
drinking
strong
drink,
Play
on
instruments
.

sit
at the gate mock
me, and I
am
the
song
of
drunkards
.
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.
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.
Deliver
me from the mire ,
and let me not
sink ,
Let
me be
delivered
from those
hating
me,
And from
deep
places
of waters.

me from the mire and do
not
let me sink ;
deliver
me from my
foes
and out
of the
deep
waters.
Let
not a
flood
of
waters
overflow
me,
Nor
let the deep
swallow me up ,
Nor
let the pit shut
her
mouth upon
me.
Do
not let the floods
engulf
me
or
the
depths
swallow me up ;

its
mouth over
me.

, for good

is '
Thy
kindness,
According
to
the
abundance
Of
Thy
mercies
turn Thou
unto
me ,
Answer me, O LORD
, for Your
loving

hide not Thy
face from Thy
servant, For I am in distress --
haste,

mine
enemies
ransom me.

my soul and
redeem me;

known
my reproach, And
my shame ,
and my
blushing,
Before
Thee
`are'
all mine
adversaries.
You
know
my reproach, my shame and disgrace.
All my
adversaries are
before
You

hath
broken my heart, and I am sick,

I look
for a
bemoaner
, and
there is
none, And
for comforters, and
I have
found none
.

cause
me to
drink
vinegar.

is
for
a snare ,

a trap.
Darkened
are
their eyes from
seeing
, And their loins
continually
shake
Thou
.

their eyes be
darkened
so

Thine
anger doth
seize
them.

Your
wrath
upon them, and let
Your

is
desolated,
In their tents there
is
no
dweller
.

their place
be
deserted;

there
be
no
one

dwell
in their tents.

pursued
him
Thou
hast
smitten,
And recount of
the pain of Thy
pierced
ones
.

the
one
You
struck
and recount the pain of those
You
wounded

punishment
for
their iniquity ,

they
enter
not into
Thy
righteousness.

set
me
on
high
.

I am in
pain
and distress;
let
Your
salvation protect
me
, O God.

name of
God
with
a
song ,

magnify
Him with thanksgiving ,

praise God’s
name in
song and exalt
Him with thanksgiving .

is
better
to
Jehovah
than an ox, A bullock
--
horned
--
hoofed
.

will
please
the
LORD
more
than an ox, more
than
a bull

rejoice ,
Ye
who seek God --
and
your heart
liveth.

unto
the needy ,

bound
ones
He
hath
not despised
.

to
the
needy and does
not despise
His
captive

moving
thing
in them.

dwelt
there ,

of His servants will
inherit it, and those who
