1
the
chief
Musician
upon
Shoshannim,
[A
Psalm]
of
David.
Save
me,
O
God;
for
the
waters
are
come
in
unto
[my]
soul.
2
I
sink
in
deep
mire,
where
[there
is]
no
standing:
I
am
come
into
deep
waters,
where
the
floods
overflow
3
I
am
weary
of
my
crying:
my
throat
is
dried:
mine
eyes
fail
while
I
wait
for
my
God.
4
They
that
hate
me
without
a
cause
are
more
than
the
hairs
of
mine
head:
they
that
would
destroy
me,
[being]
mine
enemies
wrongfully,
are
mighty:
then
I
restored
[that]
which
I
took
not
away.
5
O
God,
thou
knowest
my
foolishness;
and
my
sins
are
not
hid
from
thee.
6
Let
not
them
that
wait
on
thee,
O
Lord
GOD
of
hosts,
be
ashamed
for
my
sake:
let
not
those
that
seek
thee
be
confounded
for
my
sake,
O
God
of
Israel.
7
Because
for
thy
sake
I
have
borne
reproach;
shame
hath
covered
my
face.
8
I
am
become
a
stranger
unto
my
brethren,
and
an
alien
unto
my
mother’s
children.
9
For
the
zeal
of
thine
house
hath
eaten
me
up;
and
the
reproaches
of
them
that
reproached
thee
are
fallen
upon
10
When
I
wept,
[and
chastened]
my
soul
with
fasting,
that
was
to
my
reproach.
11
I
made
sackcloth
also
my
garment;
and
I
became
a
proverb
to
them.
12
They
that
sit
in
the
gate
speak
against
me;
and
I
[was]
the
song
of
the
drunkards.
13
But
as
for
me,
my
prayer
[is]
unto
thee,
O
LORD,
[in]
an
acceptable
time:
O
God,
in
the
multitude
of
thy
mercy
hear
me,
in
the
truth
of
thy
salvation.
14
Deliver
me
out
of
the
mire,
and
let
me
not
sink:
let
me
be
delivered
from
them
that
hate
me,
and
out
of
the
deep
waters.
15
Let
not
the
waterflood
overflow
me,
neither
let
the
deep
swallow
me
up,
and
let
not
the
pit
shut
her
mouth
upon
16
Hear
me,
O
LORD;
for
thy
lovingkindness
[is]
good:
turn
unto
me
according
to
the
multitude
of
thy
tender
mercies.
17
And
hide
not
thy
face
from
thy
servant;
for
I
am
in
trouble:
hear
me
speedily.
18
Draw
nigh
unto
my
soul,
[and]
redeem
it:
deliver
me
because
of
mine
enemies.
19
Thou
hast
known
my
reproach,
and
my
shame,
and
my
dishonour:
mine
adversaries
[are]
all
before
thee.
20
Reproach
hath
broken
my
heart;
and
I
am
full
of
heaviness:
and
I
looked
[for
some]
to
take
pity,
but
[there
was]
none;
and
for
comforters,
but
I
found
none.
21
They
gave
me
also
gall
for
my
meat;
and
in
my
thirst
they
gave
me
vinegar
to
drink.
22
Let
their
table
become
a
snare
before
them:
and
[that
which
should
have
been]
for
[their]
welfare,
[let
it
become]
a
trap.
23
Let
their
eyes
be
darkened,
that
they
see
not;
and
make
their
loins
continually
to
shake.
24
Pour
out
thine
indignation
upon
them,
and
let
thy
wrathful
anger
take
hold
of
them.
25
Let
their
habitation
be
desolate;
[and]
let
none
dwell
in
their
tents.
26
For
they
persecute
[him]
whom
thou
hast
smitten;
and
they
talk
to
the
grief
of
those
whom
thou
hast
wounded.
27
Add
iniquity
unto
their
iniquity:
and
let
them
not
come
into
thy
righteousness.
28
Let
them
be
blotted
out
of
the
book
of
the
living,
and
not
be
written
with
the
righteous.
29
But
I
[am]
poor
and
sorrowful:
let
thy
salvation,
O
God,
set
me
up
on
high.
30
I
will
praise
the
name
of
God
with
a
song,
and
will
magnify
him
with
thanksgiving.
31
[This]
also
shall
please
the
LORD
better
than
an
ox
[or]
bullock
that
hath
horns
and
hoofs.
32
The
humble
shall
see
[this,
and]
be
glad:
and
your
heart
shall
live
that
seek
God.
33
For
the
LORD
heareth
the
poor,
and
despiseth
not
his
prisoners.
34
Let
the
heaven
and
earth
praise
him,
the
seas,
and
every
thing
that
moveth
therein.
35
For
God
will
save
Zion,
and
will
build
the
cities
of
Judah:
that
they
may
dwell
there,
and
have
it
in
possession.
36
The
seed
also
of
his
servants
shall
inherit
it:
and
they
that
love
his
name
shall
dwell
therein.
