1. |
Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David.
|
|
2. |
O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
|
|
3. |
O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
|
|
4. |
But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
|
|
5. |
In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
|
|
6. |
They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
|
|
7. |
But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
|
|
8. |
All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
|
|
9. |
He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
|
|
10. |
For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
|
|
11. |
I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's womb thou art my God,
|
|
12. |
depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.
|
|
13. |
Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.
|
|
14. |
They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.
|
|
15. |
I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
|
|
16. |
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
|
|
17. |
For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.
|
|
18. |
They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.
|
|
19. |
They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
|
|
20. |
But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.
|
|
21. |
Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog.
|
|
22. |
Save me from the lion's mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
|
|
23. |
I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
|
|
24. |
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
|
|
25. |
Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.
|
|
26. |
With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
|
|
27. |
The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
|
|
28. |
All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight.
|
|
29. |
For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he shall have dominion over the nations.
|
|
30. |
All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
|
|
31. |
And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him.
|
|
32. |
There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
