World English Bible Classic
[1] Misery is mine!
Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard.
There is no cluster of grapes to eat.
My soul desires to eat the early fig.
[2] The godly man has perished out of the earth,
and there is no one upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood;
every man hunts his brother with a net.
[3] Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently.
The ruler and judge ask for a bribe.
The powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul.
Thus they conspire together.
[4] The best of them is like a brier.
The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge.
The day of your watchmen,
even your visitation, has come;
now is the time of their confusion.
[5] Don’t trust in a neighbor.
Don’t put confidence in a friend.
With the woman lying in your embrace,
be careful of the words of your mouth!
[6] For the son dishonors the father,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
[7] But as for me, I will look to Yahweh.
I will wait for the God of my salvation.
My God will hear me.
[8] Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy.
When I fall, I will arise.
When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.
[9] I will bear the indignation of Yahweh,
because I have sinned against him,
until he pleads my case and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me out to the light.
I will see his righteousness.
[10] Then my enemy will see it,
and shame will cover her who said to me,
“Where is Yahweh your God?”
My eyes will see her.
Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
[11] A day to build your walls!
In that day, he will extend your boundary.
[12] In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
and from Egypt even to the River,
and from sea to sea,
and mountain to mountain.
[13] Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein,
for the fruit of their doings.
[14] Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock of your heritage,
who dwell by themselves in a forest.
Let them feed in the middle of fertile pasture land,
in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
[15] “As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt,
I will show them marvelous things.”
[16] The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might.
They will lay their hand on their mouth.
Their ears will be deaf.
[17] They will lick the dust like a serpent.
Like crawling things of the earth, they will come trembling out of their dens.
They will come with fear to Yahweh our God,
and will be afraid because of you.
[18] Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity,
and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage?
He doesn’t retain his anger forever,
because he delights in loving kindness.
[19] He will again have compassion on us.
He will tread our iniquities under foot.
You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
[20] You will give truth to Jacob,
and mercy to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
King James Version
[1] Woe H480 is me! for I am as when they have gathered H625 the summer fruits, H7019§ as the grapegleanings H5955 of the vintage: H1210 there is no cluster H811 to eat: H398 my soul H5315 desired H183 the firstripe fruit. H1063 [2] The good H2623§ man is perished H6 out of H4480 the earth: H776 and there is none upright H3477 among men: H120 they all lie in wait H693 for blood; H1818 they hunt H6679 every H3605 man H376 H853 his brother H251 with a net. H2764 [3] That they may do evil H7451 with both hands H3709 earnestly, H3190 the prince H8269 asketh, H7592 and the judge H8199 asketh for a reward; H7966 and the great H1419 man, he uttereth H1696 his mischievous H1942 desire: H5315 so they wrap it up. H5686 [4] The best H2896 of them is as a brier: H2312 the most upright H3477 is sharper than a thorn hedge: H4534 the day H3117 of thy watchmen H6822 and thy visitation H6486 cometh; H935 now H6258 shall be their perplexity. H3998 [5] Trust H539 ye not in a friend, H7453 put ye not confidence H982 in a guide: H441 keep H8104 the doors H6607 of thy mouth H6310 from her that lieth H7901 in thy bosom. H2436 [6] For H3588 the son H1121 dishonoureth H5034 the father, H1 the daughter H1323 riseth up H6965 against her mother, H517 the daughter in law H3618 against her mother in law; H2545 a man’s H376 enemies H341 are the men H582 of his own house. H1004

Her Trust in God

[7] Therefore I will look H6822 unto the Lord; H3068 I will wait H3176 for the God H430 of my salvation: H3468 my God H430 will hear H8085 me. [8] Rejoice H8055 not H408 against me, O mine enemy: H341 when I fall, H5307 I shall arise; H6965 when I sit H3427 in darkness, H2822 the Lord H3068 shall be a light H216 unto me. [9] I will bear H5375 the indignation H2197 of the Lord, H3068 because I have sinned H2398 against him, until he plead H7378 my cause, H7379 and execute H6213 judgment H4941 for me: he will bring me forth H3318 to the light, H216 and I shall behold H7200 his righteousness. H6666 [10] Then she that is mine enemy H341 shall see H7200 it, and shame H955 shall cover H3680 her§ which said H559 unto H413 me, Where is the Lord H3068 thy God? H430 mine eyes H5869 shall behold H7200 her: now shall she be trodden down H4823§ as the mire H2916 of the streets. H2351 [11] In the day H3117 that thy walls H1447 are to be built, H1129 in that day H3117 shall the decree H2706 be far removed. H7368 [12] In that day H3117 also he shall come H935 even to thee from§ Assyria, H804 and from the fortified H4693 cities, H5892 and from the fortress H4693 even to the river, H5104 and from sea H3220 to sea, H3220 and from mountain H2022 to mountain. H2022 [13] Notwithstanding§ the land H776 shall be desolate H8077 because of them that dwell H3427 therein, for the fruit H6529 of their doings. H4611 [14] Feed H7462§ thy people H5971 with thy rod, H7626 the flock H6629 of thine heritage, H5159 which dwell H7931 solitarily H910 in the wood, H3293 in the midst H8432 of Carmel: H3760 let them feed H7462 in Bashan H1316 and Gilead, H1568 as in the days H3117 of old. H5769 [15] According to the days H3117 of thy coming H3318 out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 will I shew H7200 unto him marvellous H6381 things. [16] The nations H1471 shall see H7200 and be confounded H954 at all their might: H1369 they shall lay H7760 their hand H3027 upon their mouth, H6310 their ears H241 shall be deaf. H2790 [17] They shall lick H3897 the dust H6083 like a serpent, H5175 they shall move H7264 out of H4480 their holes H4526 like worms H2119§ of the earth: H776 they shall be afraid H6342 of the Lord H3068 our God, H430 and shall fear H3372 because of thee. [18] Who is a God H410 like unto thee, that pardoneth H5375 iniquity, H5771 and passeth by H5674 the transgression H6588 of the remnant H7611 of his heritage? H5159 he retaineth H2388 not H3808 his anger H639 for ever, H5703 because he delighteth H2654 in mercy. H2617 [19] He will turn again, H7725 he will have compassion H7355 upon us; he will subdue H3533 our iniquities; H5771 and thou wilt cast H7993 all H3605 their sins H2403 into the depths H4688 of the sea. H3220 [20] Thou wilt perform H5414 the truth H571 to Jacob, H3290 and the mercy H2617 to Abraham, H85 which H834 thou hast sworn H7650 unto our fathers H1 from the days H3117 of old. H6924
