[1] I am the man who has seen affliction
by the rod of his wrath.
[2] He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness,
and not in light.
[3] Surely he turns his hand against me
again and again all day long. [4] He has made my flesh and my skin old.
He has broken my bones.
[5] He has built against me,
and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
[6] He has made me dwell in dark places,
as those who have been long dead. [7] He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out.
He has made my chain heavy.
[8] Yes, when I cry, and call for help,
he shuts out my prayer.
[9] He has walled up my ways with cut stone.
He has made my paths crooked. [10] He is to me as a bear lying in wait,
as a lion in hiding.
[11] He has turned away my path,
and pulled me in pieces.
He has made me desolate.
[12] He has bent his bow,
and set me as a mark for the arrow. [13] He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
[14] I have become a derision to all my people,
and their song all day long.
[15] He has filled me with bitterness.
He has stuffed me with wormwood. [16] He has also broken my teeth with gravel.
He has covered me with ashes.
[17] You have removed my soul far away from peace.
I forgot prosperity.
[18] I said, “My strength has perished,
along with my expectation from Yahweh.” [19] Remember my affliction and my misery,
the wormwood and the bitterness.
[20] My soul still remembers them,
and is bowed down within me.
[21] This I recall to my mind;
therefore I have hope. [22] It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed,
because his mercies don’t fail.
[23] They are new every morning.
Great is your faithfulness.
[24] “Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul.
“Therefore I will hope in him.” [25] Yahweh is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
[26] It is good that a man should hope
and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.
[27] It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. [28] Let him sit alone and keep silence,
because he has laid it on him.
[29] Let him put his mouth in the dust,
if it is so that there may be hope.
[30] Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him.
Let him be filled full of reproach. [31] For the Lord will not cast off forever.
[32] For though he causes grief,
yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
[33] For he does not afflict willingly,
nor grieve the children of men. [34] To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
[35] to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
[36] to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve. [37] Who is he who says, and it comes to pass,
when the Lord doesn’t command it?
[38] Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
[39] Why should a living man complain,
a man for the punishment of his sins? [40] Let us search and try our ways,
and turn again to Yahweh.
[41] Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God§ in the heavens.
[42] “We have transgressed and have rebelled.
You have not pardoned. [43] “You have covered us with anger and pursued us.
You have killed.
You have not pitied.
[44] You have covered yourself with a cloud,
so that no prayer can pass through.
[45] You have made us an off-scouring and refuse
in the middle of the peoples. [46] “All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
[47] Terror and the pit have come on us,
devastation and destruction.” [48] My eye runs down with streams of water,
for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
[49] My eye pours down
and doesn’t cease,
without any intermission,
[50] until Yahweh looks down,
and sees from heaven.
[51] My eye affects my soul,
because of all the daughters of my city. [52] They have chased me relentlessly like a bird,
those who are my enemies without cause.
[53] They have cut off my life in the dungeon,
and have cast a stone on me.
[54] Waters flowed over my head.
I said, “I am cut off.” [55] I called on your name, Yahweh,
out of the lowest dungeon.
[56] You heard my voice:
“Don’t hide your ear from my sighing,
and my cry.” [57] You came near in the day that I called on you.
You said, “Don’t be afraid.” [58] Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul.
You have redeemed my life.
[59] Yahweh, you have seen my wrong.
Judge my cause.
[60] You have seen all their vengeance
and all their plans against me. [61] You have heard their reproach, Yahweh,
and all their plans against me,
[62] the lips of those that rose up against me,
and their plots against me all day long.
[63] You see their sitting down and their rising up.
I am their song. [64] You will pay them back, Yahweh,
according to the work of their hands.
[65] You will give them hardness of heart,
your curse to them.
[66] You will pursue them in anger,
and destroy them from under the heavens of Yahweh.
by the rod of his wrath.
[2] He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness,
and not in light.
[3] Surely he turns his hand against me
again and again all day long. [4] He has made my flesh and my skin old.
He has broken my bones.
[5] He has built against me,

King James Version
[1] I am the man H1397 that hath seen H7200 (QalPerf) affliction H6040
By the rod H7626 of his wrath. H5678
[2] He hath led H5090 (QalPerf) me, and brought H3212 (HiphImpf) me
Into darkness, H2822 but not into light. H216
[3] Surely against me is he turned; H7725 (QalImpf) he turneth H2015 (QalImpf) his hand H3027
Against me all the day. H3117
[4] My flesh H1320 and my skin H5785 hath he made old; H1086 (PielPerf)
He hath broken H7665 (PielPerf) my bones. H6106
[5] He hath builded against H1129 (QalPerf) me,
And compassed H5362 (HiphImpf) me with gall H7219 and travail. H8513
[6] He hath set H3427 (HiphPerf) me in dark places, H4285
As they that be dead H4191 (QalPtc) of old. H5769
[7] He hath hedged H1443 (QalPerf) me about, that I cannot get out: H3318 (QalImpf)
He hath made my chain H5178 heavy. H3513 (HiphPerf)
[8] Also when I cry H2199 (QalImpf) and shout, H7768 (PielImpf)
He shutteth out H5640 (QalPerf) my prayer. H8605
[9] He hath inclosed H1443 (QalPerf) my ways H1870 with hewn stone, H1496
He hath made my paths H5410 crooked. H5753 (PielPerf)
[10] He was unto me as a bear H1677 lying in wait, H693 (QalActPtc)
And as a lion H738 in secret places. H4565
[11] He hath turned aside H5493 (PolePerf) my ways, H1870 and pulled me in pieces: H6582 (PielImpf)
He hath made H7760 (QalPerf) me desolate. H8074 (QalActPtc)
[12] He hath bent H1869 (QalPerf) his bow, H7198 and set H5324 (HiphImpf) me
As a mark H4307 for the arrow. H2671
[13] He hath caused the arrows H1121§ of his quiver H827
To enter H935 (HiphPerf) into my reins. H3629
[14] I was a derision H7814 to all my people; H5971
And their song H5058 all the day. H3117
[15] He hath filled H7646 (HiphPerf) me with bitterness, H4844§
He hath made me drunken H7301 (HiphPerf) with wormwood. H3939
[16] He hath also broken H1638 (HiphImpf) my teeth H8127 with gravel stones, H2687
He hath covered H3728 (HiphPerf) me with ashes. H665§
[17] And thou hast removed H2186 my soul H5315 far off H2186 (QalImpf) from peace: H7965
I forgat H5382 (QalPerf) prosperity. H2896§
[18] And I said, H559 (QalImpf) My strength H5331 and my hope H8431
Is perished H6 (QalPerf) from the Lord: H3068
[19] Remembering H2142 (QalImpv)§ mine affliction H6040 and my misery, H4788
The wormwood H3939 and the gall. H7219
[20] My soul H5315 hath them still H2142 (QalInf) in remembrance, H2142 (QalImpf)
And is humbled H7743 (HiphImpf)§ in me.
[21] This I recall H7725 (HiphImpf) to my mind, H3820§
Therefore have I hope. H3176 (HiphImpf)
[22] It is of the Lord’s H3068 mercies H2617 that we are not consumed, H8552 (QalPerf)
Because his compassions H7356 fail H3615 (QalPerf) not.
[23] They are new H2319 every morning: H1242
Great H7227 is thy faithfulness. H530
[24] The Lord H3068 is my portion, H2506 saith H559 (QalPerf) my soul; H5315
Therefore will I hope H3176 (HiphImpf) in him.
[25] The Lord H3068 is good H2896 unto them that wait H6960 (QalActPtc) for him,
To the soul H5315 that seeketh H1875 (QalImpf) him.
[26] It is good H2896 that a man should both hope H3175 (Qere) and quietly
Wait H1748 for the salvation H8668 of the Lord. H3068
[27] It is good H2896 for a man H1397 that he bear H5375 (QalImpf)
The yoke H5923 in his youth. H5271
[28] He sitteth H3427 (QalImpf) alone H910 and keepeth silence, H1826 (QalImpf)
Because he hath borne H5190 (QalPerf) it upon him.
[29] He putteth H5414 (QalImpf) his mouth H6310 in the dust; H6083
If so be there may be H3426 hope. H8615
[30] He giveth H5414 (QalImpf) his cheek H3895 to him that smiteth H5221 (HiphPtc) him:
He is filled full H7646 (QalImpf) with reproach. H2781
[31] For the Lord H136 will not
Cast off H2186 (QalImpf) for ever: H5769
[32] But though he cause grief, H3013 (HiphPerf) yet will he have compassion H7355 (PielPerf)
According to the multitude H7230 of his mercies. H2617
[33] For he doth not afflict H6031 (PielPerf) willingly H3820§
Nor grieve H3013 (PielImpf) the children H1121 of men. H376
[34] To crush H1792 (PielInf) under his feet H7272
All the prisoners H615 of the earth, H776
[35] To turn aside H5186 (HiphInf) the right H4941 of a man H1397
Before the face H6440 of the Most High, H5945§
[36] To subvert H5791 (PielInf) a man H120 in his cause, H7379
The Lord H136 approveth H7200 (QalPerf) not.§
[37] Who is he that saith, H559 (QalPerf) and it cometh to pass,
When the Lord H136 commandeth H6680 (PielPerf) it not?
[38] Out of the mouth H6310 of the Most High H5945
Proceedeth H3318 (QalImpf) not evil H7451 and good? H2896
[39] Wherefore doth a living H2416 man H120 complain, H596 (HithImpf)§
A man H1397 for the punishment of his sins? H2399
[40] Let us search H2664 (QalImpf) and try H2713 (QalImpf) our ways, H1870
And turn again H7725 (QalImpf) to the Lord. H3068
[41] Let us lift up H5375 (QalImpf) our heart H3824 with our hands H3709
Unto God H410 in the heavens. H8064
[42] We H5168 have transgressed H6586 (QalPerf) and have rebelled: H4784 (QalPerf)
Thou hast not pardoned. H5545 (QalPerf)
[43] Thou hast covered H5526 (QalPerf) with anger, H639 and persecuted H7291 (QalImpf) us:
Thou hast slain, H2026 (QalPerf) thou hast not pitied. H2550 (QalPerf)
[44] Thou hast covered H5526 (QalPerf) thyself with a cloud, H6051
That our prayer H8605 should not pass through. H5674 (QalInf)
[45] Thou hast made H7760 (QalImpf) us as the offscouring H5501 and refuse H3973
In the midst H7130 of the people. H5971
[46] All our enemies H341 (QalActPtc)
Have opened H6475 (QalPerf) their mouths H6310 against us.
[47] Fear H6343 and a snare H6354 is come upon us,
Desolation H7612 and destruction. H7667
[48] Mine eye H5869 runneth down H3381 (QalImpf) with rivers H6388 of water H4325
For the destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people. H5971
[49] Mine eye H5869 trickleth down, H5064 (NiphPerf) and ceaseth H1820 (QalImpf) not,
Without any intermission, H2014
[50] Till the Lord H3068 look down, H8259 (HiphImpf)
And behold H7200 (QalImpf) from heaven. H8064
[51] Mine eye H5869 affecteth H5953 (PoelPerf) mine heart H5315§
Because of all§ the daughters H1323 of my city. H5892
[52] Mine enemies H341 (QalActPtc) chased H6679 (QalPerf) me sore, H6679 (QalInf) like a bird, H6833
Without cause. H2600
[53] They have cut off H6789 (QalPerf) my life H2416 in the dungeon, H953
And cast H3034 (PielImpf) a stone H68 upon me.
[54] Waters H4325 flowed over H6687 (QalPerf) mine head; H7218
Then I said, H559 (QalPerf) I am cut off. H1504 (NiphPerf)
[55] I called H7121 (QalPerf) upon thy name, H8034 O Lord, H3068
Out of the low H8482 dungeon. H953
[56] Thou hast heard H8085 (QalPerf) my voice: H6963
Hide H5956 (HiphImpf) not thine ear H241 at my breathing, H7309 at my cry. H7775
[57] Thou drewest near H7126 (QalPerf) in the day H3117 that I called H7121 (QalImpf) upon thee:
Thou saidst, H559 (QalPerf) Fear H3372 (QalImpf) not.
[58] O Lord, H136 thou hast pleaded H7378 (QalPerf) the causes H7379 of my soul; H5315
Thou hast redeemed H1350 (QalPerf) my life. H2416
[59] O Lord, H3068 thou hast seen H7200 (QalPerf) my wrong: H5792
Judge H8199 (QalImpv) thou my cause. H4941
[60] Thou hast seen H7200 (QalPerf) all their vengeance H5360
And all their imaginations H4284 against me.
[61] Thou hast heard H8085 (QalPerf) their reproach, H2781 O Lord, H3068
And all their imaginations H4284 against me;
[62] The lips H8193 of those that rose up H6965 (QalPtc) against me,
And their device H1902 against me all the day. H3117
[63] Behold H5027 (HiphImpv) their sitting down, H3427 (QalInf) and their rising up; H7012
I am their musick. H4485
[64] Render H7725 (HiphImpf) unto them a recompence, H1576 O Lord, H3068
According to the work H4639 of their hands. H3027
[65] Give H5414 (QalImpf) them sorrow H4044 of heart, H3820
Thy curse H8381 unto them.
[66] Persecute H7291 (QalImpf) and destroy H8045 (HiphImpf) them in anger H639
From under the heavens H8064 of the Lord. H3068
By the rod H7626 of his wrath. H5678
[2] He hath led H5090 (QalPerf) me, and brought H3212 (HiphImpf) me
Into darkness, H2822 but not into light. H216
[3] Surely against me is he turned; H7725 (QalImpf) he turneth H2015 (QalImpf) his hand H3027
Against me all the day. H3117
[4] My flesh H1320 and my skin H5785 hath he made old; H1086 (PielPerf)
He hath broken H7665 (PielPerf) my bones. H6106
[5] He hath builded against H1129 (QalPerf) me,
And compassed H5362 (HiphImpf) me with gall H7219 and travail. H8513
[6] He hath set H3427 (HiphPerf) me in dark places, H4285
As they that be dead H4191 (QalPtc) of old. H5769
[7] He hath hedged H1443 (QalPerf) me about, that I cannot get out: H3318 (QalImpf)
He hath made my chain H5178 heavy. H3513 (HiphPerf)
[8] Also when I cry H2199 (QalImpf) and shout, H7768 (PielImpf)
He shutteth out H5640 (QalPerf) my prayer. H8605
[9] He hath inclosed H1443 (QalPerf) my ways H1870 with hewn stone, H1496
He hath made my paths H5410 crooked. H5753 (PielPerf)
[10] He was unto me as a bear H1677 lying in wait, H693 (QalActPtc)
And as a lion H738 in secret places. H4565
[11] He hath turned aside H5493 (PolePerf) my ways, H1870 and pulled me in pieces: H6582 (PielImpf)
He hath made H7760 (QalPerf) me desolate. H8074 (QalActPtc)
[12] He hath bent H1869 (QalPerf) his bow, H7198 and set H5324 (HiphImpf) me
As a mark H4307 for the arrow. H2671
[13] He hath caused the arrows H1121§ of his quiver H827
To enter H935 (HiphPerf) into my reins. H3629
[14] I was a derision H7814 to all my people; H5971
And their song H5058 all the day. H3117
[15] He hath filled H7646 (HiphPerf) me with bitterness, H4844§
He hath made me drunken H7301 (HiphPerf) with wormwood. H3939
[16] He hath also broken H1638 (HiphImpf) my teeth H8127 with gravel stones, H2687
He hath covered H3728 (HiphPerf) me with ashes. H665§
[17] And thou hast removed H2186 my soul H5315 far off H2186 (QalImpf) from peace: H7965
I forgat H5382 (QalPerf) prosperity. H2896§
[18] And I said, H559 (QalImpf) My strength H5331 and my hope H8431
Is perished H6 (QalPerf) from the Lord: H3068
[19] Remembering H2142 (QalImpv)§ mine affliction H6040 and my misery, H4788
The wormwood H3939 and the gall. H7219
[20] My soul H5315 hath them still H2142 (QalInf) in remembrance, H2142 (QalImpf)
And is humbled H7743 (HiphImpf)§ in me.
[21] This I recall H7725 (HiphImpf) to my mind, H3820§
Therefore have I hope. H3176 (HiphImpf)
[22] It is of the Lord’s H3068 mercies H2617 that we are not consumed, H8552 (QalPerf)
Because his compassions H7356 fail H3615 (QalPerf) not.
[23] They are new H2319 every morning: H1242
Great H7227 is thy faithfulness. H530
[24] The Lord H3068 is my portion, H2506 saith H559 (QalPerf) my soul; H5315
Therefore will I hope H3176 (HiphImpf) in him.
[25] The Lord H3068 is good H2896 unto them that wait H6960 (QalActPtc) for him,
To the soul H5315 that seeketh H1875 (QalImpf) him.
[26] It is good H2896 that a man should both hope H3175 (Qere) and quietly
Wait H1748 for the salvation H8668 of the Lord. H3068
[27] It is good H2896 for a man H1397 that he bear H5375 (QalImpf)
The yoke H5923 in his youth. H5271
[28] He sitteth H3427 (QalImpf) alone H910 and keepeth silence, H1826 (QalImpf)
Because he hath borne H5190 (QalPerf) it upon him.
[29] He putteth H5414 (QalImpf) his mouth H6310 in the dust; H6083
If so be there may be H3426 hope. H8615
[30] He giveth H5414 (QalImpf) his cheek H3895 to him that smiteth H5221 (HiphPtc) him:
He is filled full H7646 (QalImpf) with reproach. H2781
[31] For the Lord H136 will not
Cast off H2186 (QalImpf) for ever: H5769
[32] But though he cause grief, H3013 (HiphPerf) yet will he have compassion H7355 (PielPerf)
According to the multitude H7230 of his mercies. H2617
[33] For he doth not afflict H6031 (PielPerf) willingly H3820§
Nor grieve H3013 (PielImpf) the children H1121 of men. H376
[34] To crush H1792 (PielInf) under his feet H7272
All the prisoners H615 of the earth, H776
[35] To turn aside H5186 (HiphInf) the right H4941 of a man H1397
Before the face H6440 of the Most High, H5945§
[36] To subvert H5791 (PielInf) a man H120 in his cause, H7379
The Lord H136 approveth H7200 (QalPerf) not.§
[37] Who is he that saith, H559 (QalPerf) and it cometh to pass,
When the Lord H136 commandeth H6680 (PielPerf) it not?
[38] Out of the mouth H6310 of the Most High H5945
Proceedeth H3318 (QalImpf) not evil H7451 and good? H2896
[39] Wherefore doth a living H2416 man H120 complain, H596 (HithImpf)§
A man H1397 for the punishment of his sins? H2399
[40] Let us search H2664 (QalImpf) and try H2713 (QalImpf) our ways, H1870
And turn again H7725 (QalImpf) to the Lord. H3068
[41] Let us lift up H5375 (QalImpf) our heart H3824 with our hands H3709
Unto God H410 in the heavens. H8064
[42] We H5168 have transgressed H6586 (QalPerf) and have rebelled: H4784 (QalPerf)
Thou hast not pardoned. H5545 (QalPerf)
[43] Thou hast covered H5526 (QalPerf) with anger, H639 and persecuted H7291 (QalImpf) us:
Thou hast slain, H2026 (QalPerf) thou hast not pitied. H2550 (QalPerf)
[44] Thou hast covered H5526 (QalPerf) thyself with a cloud, H6051
That our prayer H8605 should not pass through. H5674 (QalInf)
[45] Thou hast made H7760 (QalImpf) us as the offscouring H5501 and refuse H3973
In the midst H7130 of the people. H5971
[46] All our enemies H341 (QalActPtc)
Have opened H6475 (QalPerf) their mouths H6310 against us.
[47] Fear H6343 and a snare H6354 is come upon us,
Desolation H7612 and destruction. H7667
[48] Mine eye H5869 runneth down H3381 (QalImpf) with rivers H6388 of water H4325
For the destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people. H5971
[49] Mine eye H5869 trickleth down, H5064 (NiphPerf) and ceaseth H1820 (QalImpf) not,
Without any intermission, H2014
[50] Till the Lord H3068 look down, H8259 (HiphImpf)
And behold H7200 (QalImpf) from heaven. H8064
[51] Mine eye H5869 affecteth H5953 (PoelPerf) mine heart H5315§
Because of all§ the daughters H1323 of my city. H5892
[52] Mine enemies H341 (QalActPtc) chased H6679 (QalPerf) me sore, H6679 (QalInf) like a bird, H6833
Without cause. H2600
[53] They have cut off H6789 (QalPerf) my life H2416 in the dungeon, H953
And cast H3034 (PielImpf) a stone H68 upon me.
[54] Waters H4325 flowed over H6687 (QalPerf) mine head; H7218
Then I said, H559 (QalPerf) I am cut off. H1504 (NiphPerf)
[55] I called H7121 (QalPerf) upon thy name, H8034 O Lord, H3068
Out of the low H8482 dungeon. H953
[56] Thou hast heard H8085 (QalPerf) my voice: H6963
Hide H5956 (HiphImpf) not thine ear H241 at my breathing, H7309 at my cry. H7775
[57] Thou drewest near H7126 (QalPerf) in the day H3117 that I called H7121 (QalImpf) upon thee:
Thou saidst, H559 (QalPerf) Fear H3372 (QalImpf) not.
[58] O Lord, H136 thou hast pleaded H7378 (QalPerf) the causes H7379 of my soul; H5315
Thou hast redeemed H1350 (QalPerf) my life. H2416
[59] O Lord, H3068 thou hast seen H7200 (QalPerf) my wrong: H5792
Judge H8199 (QalImpv) thou my cause. H4941
[60] Thou hast seen H7200 (QalPerf) all their vengeance H5360
And all their imaginations H4284 against me.
[61] Thou hast heard H8085 (QalPerf) their reproach, H2781 O Lord, H3068
And all their imaginations H4284 against me;
[62] The lips H8193 of those that rose up H6965 (QalPtc) against me,
And their device H1902 against me all the day. H3117
[63] Behold H5027 (HiphImpv) their sitting down, H3427 (QalInf) and their rising up; H7012
I am their musick. H4485
[64] Render H7725 (HiphImpf) unto them a recompence, H1576 O Lord, H3068
According to the work H4639 of their hands. H3027
[65] Give H5414 (QalImpf) them sorrow H4044 of heart, H3820
Thy curse H8381 unto them.
[66] Persecute H7291 (QalImpf) and destroy H8045 (HiphImpf) them in anger H639
From under the heavens H8064 of the Lord. H3068
