Dual Panel1I [am] the man <01397> [that] hath seen <07200> (8804) affliction <06040> by the rod <07626> of his wrath <05678>_.
2He hath led <05090> (8804) me, and brought <03212> (8686) [me into] darkness <02822>_, but not [into] light <0216>_.
3Surely against me is he turned <07725> (8799)_; he turneth <02015> (8799) his hand <03027> [against me] all the day <03117>_.
4My flesh <01320> and my skin <05785> hath he made old <01086> (8765)_; he hath broken <07665> (8765) my bones <06106>_.
5He hath builded against <01129> (8804) me, and compassed <05362> (8686) [me] with gall <07219> and travail <08513>_.
6He hath set <03427> (8689) me in dark places <04285>_, as [they that be] dead <04191> (8801) of old <05769>_.
7He hath hedged <01443> (8804) me about, that I cannot get out <03318> (8799)_: he hath made my chain <05178> heavy <03513> (8689)_.
8Also when I cry <02199> (8799) and shout <07768> (8762)_, he shutteth out <05640> (8804) my prayer <08605>_.
9He hath inclosed <01443> (8804) my ways <01870> with hewn stone <01496>_, he hath made my paths <05410> crooked <05753> (8765)_.
10He [was] unto me [as] a bear <01677> lying in wait <0693> (8802)_, [and as] a lion <0738> in secret places <04565>_.
11He hath turned aside <05493> (8790) my ways <01870>_, and pulled me in pieces <06582> (8762)_: he hath made <07760> (8804) me desolate <08074> (8802)_.
12He hath bent <01869> (8804) his bow <07198>_, and set <05324> (8686) me as a mark <04307> for the arrow <02671>_.
13He hath caused the arrows <01121> of his quiver <0827> to enter <0935> (8689) into my reins <03629>_. {arrows: Heb. sons}
14I was a derision <07814> to all my people <05971>_; [and] their song <05058> all the day <03117>_.
15He hath filled <07646> (8689) me with bitterness <04844>_, he hath made me drunken <07301> (8689) with wormwood <03939>_. {bitterness: Heb. bitternesses}
16He hath also broken <01638> (8686) my teeth <08127> with gravel stones <02687>_, he hath covered <03728> (8689) me with ashes <0665>_. {covered...: or, rolled me in the ashes}
17And thou hast removed <02186> (0) my soul <05315> far off <02186> (8799) from peace <07965>_: I forgat <05382> (8804) prosperity <02896>_. {prosperity: Heb. good}
18And I said <0559> (8799)_, My strength <05331> and my hope <08431> is perished <06> (8804) from the LORD <03068>_:
19Remembering <02142> (8798) mine affliction <06040> and my misery <04788>_, the wormwood <03939> and the gall <07219>_. {Remembering: or, Remember}
20My soul <05315> hath [them] still <02142> (8800) in remembrance <02142> (8799)_, and is humbled <07743> (8686) in me. {humbled: Heb. bowed}
21This I recall <07725> (8686) to my mind <03820>_, therefore have I hope <03176> (8686)_. {recall...: Heb. make to return to my heart}
22[It is of] the LORD'S <03068> mercies <02617> that we are not consumed <08552> (8804)_, because his compassions <07356> fail <03615> (8804) not.
23[They are] new <02319> every morning <01242>_: great <07227> [is] thy faithfulness <0530>_.
24The LORD <03068> [is] my portion <02506>_, saith <0559> (8804) my soul <05315>_; therefore will I hope <03176> (8686) in him.
25The LORD <03068> [is] good <02896> unto them that wait <06960> (8802) for him, to the soul <05315> [that] seeketh <01875> (8799) him.
26[It is] good <02896> that [a man] should both hope <03175> (8675) <02342> (8799) and quietly wait <01748> for the salvation <08668> of the LORD <03068>_.
27[It is] good <02896> for a man <01397> that he bear <05375> (8799) the yoke <05923> in his youth <05271>_.
28He sitteth <03427> (8799) alone <0910> and keepeth silence <01826> (8799)_, because he hath borne <05190> (8804) [it] upon him.
29He putteth <05414> (8799) his mouth <06310> in the dust <06083>_; if so be there may be <03426> hope <08615>_.
30He giveth <05414> (8799) [his] cheek <03895> to him that smiteth <05221> (8688) him: he is filled full <07646> (8799) with reproach <02781>_.
31For the Lord <0136> will not cast off <02186> (8799) for ever <05769>_:
32But though he cause grief <03013> (8689)_, yet will he have compassion <07355> (8765) according to the multitude <07230> of his mercies <02617>_.
33For he doth not afflict <06031> (8765) willingly <03820> nor grieve <03013> (8762) the children <01121> of men <0376>_. {willingly: Heb. from his heart}
34To crush <01792> (8763) under his feet <07272> all the prisoners <0615> of the earth <0776>_,
35To turn aside <05186> (8687) the right <04941> of a man <01397> before the face <06440> of the most High <05945>_, {the most High: or, a superior}
36To subvert <05791> (8763) a man <0120> in his cause <07379>_, the Lord <0136> approveth <07200> (8804) not. {approveth not: or, seeth not}
37Who [is] he [that] saith <0559> (8804)_, and it cometh to pass, [when] the Lord <0136> commandeth <06680> (8765) [it] not?
38Out of the mouth <06310> of the most High <05945> proceedeth <03318> (8799) not evil <07451> and good <02896>_?
39Wherefore doth a living <02416> man <0120> complain <0596> (8691)_, a man <01397> for the punishment of his sins <02399>_? {complain: or, murmur}
40Let us search <02664> (8799) and try <02713> (8799) our ways <01870>_, and turn again <07725> (8799) to the LORD <03068>_.
41Let us lift up <05375> (8799) our heart <03824> with [our] hands <03709> unto God <0410> in the heavens <08064>_.
42We <05168> have transgressed <06586> (8804) and have rebelled <04784> (8804)_: thou hast not pardoned <05545> (8804)_.
43Thou hast covered <05526> (8804) with anger <0639>_, and persecuted <07291> (8799) us: thou hast slain <02026> (8804)_, thou hast not pitied <02550> (8804)_.
44Thou hast covered <05526> (8804) thyself with a cloud <06051>_, that [our] prayer <08605> should not pass through <05674> (8800)_.
45Thou hast made <07760> (8799) us [as] the offscouring <05501> and refuse <03973> in the midst <07130> of the people <05971>_.
46All our enemies <0341> (8802) have opened <06475> (8804) their mouths <06310> against us.
47Fear <06343> and a snare <06354> is come upon us, desolation <07612> and destruction <07667>_.
48Mine eye <05869> runneth down <03381> (8799) with rivers <06388> of water <04325> for the destruction <07667> of the daughter <01323> of my people <05971>_.
49Mine eye <05869> trickleth down <05064> (8738)_, and ceaseth <01820> (8799) not, without any intermission <02014>_,
50Till the LORD <03068> look down <08259> (8686)_, and behold <07200> (8799) from heaven <08064>_.
51Mine eye <05869> affecteth <05953> (8782) mine heart <05315> because of all the daughters <01323> of my city <05892>_. {mine heart: Heb. my soul} {because...: or, more than all}
52Mine enemies <0341> (8802) chased <06679> (8804) me sore <06679> (8800)_, like a bird <06833>_, without cause <02600>_.
53They have cut off <06789> (8804) my life <02416> in the dungeon <0953>_, and cast <03034> (8762) a stone <068> upon me.
54Waters <04325> flowed over <06687> (8804) mine head <07218>_; [then] I said <0559> (8804)_, I am cut off <01504> (8738)_.
55I called <07121> (8804) upon thy name <08034>_, O LORD <03068>_, out of the low <08482> dungeon <0953>_.
56Thou hast heard <08085> (8804) my voice <06963>_: hide <05956> (8686) not thine ear <0241> at my breathing <07309>_, at my cry <07775>_.
57Thou drewest near <07126> (8804) in the day <03117> [that] I called <07121> (8799) upon thee: thou saidst <0559> (8804)_, Fear <03372> (8799) not.
58O Lord <0136>_, thou hast pleaded <07378> (8804) the causes <07379> of my soul <05315>_; thou hast redeemed <01350> (8804) my life <02416>_.
59O LORD <03068>_, thou hast seen <07200> (8804) my wrong <05792>_: judge <08199> (8798) thou my cause <04941>_.
60Thou hast seen <07200> (8804) all their vengeance <05360> [and] all their imaginations <04284> against me.
61Thou hast heard <08085> (8804) their reproach <02781>_, O LORD <03068>_, [and] all their imaginations <04284> against me;
62The lips <08193> of those that rose up <06965> (8801) against me, and their device <01902> against me all the day <03117>_.
63Behold <05027> (8685) their sitting down <03427> (8800)_, and their rising up <07012>_; I [am] their musick <04485>_.
64Render <07725> (8686) unto them a recompence <01576>_, O LORD <03068>_, according to the work <04639> of their hands <03027>_.
65Give <05414> (8799) them sorrow <04044> of heart <03820>_, thy curse <08381> unto them. {sorrow...: or, obstinacy of heart}
66Persecute <07291> (8799) and destroy <08045> (8686) them in anger <0639> from under the heavens <08064> of the LORD <03068>_.
