Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; according to <05921> the tune of “Lilies <07799>;” by David <01732>. Deliver <03467> me, O God <0430>, for <03588> the water <04325> has reached <0935> my neck <05315>.
2I sink <02883> into the deep <04688> mire <03121> where there is no <0369> solid ground <04613>; I am in <0935> deep <04615> water <04325>, and the current <07641> overpowers <07857> me.
3I am exhausted <03021> from shouting <07121> for help; my throat <01627> is sore <02787>; my eyes <05869> grow tired <03615> of looking for <03176> my God <0430>.
4Those who hate <08130> me without cause <02600> are more numerous <07231> than the hairs <08185> of my head <07218>. Those who want <06105> to destroy <06789> me, my enemies <0341> for no reason <08267>, outnumber me. They make me repay <07725> what <0834> I did not <03808> steal <01497>!
5O God <0430>, you <0859> are aware <03045> of my foolish <0200> sins; my guilt <0819> is not <03808> hidden <03582> from you.
6Let none <0408> who rely on <06960> you be disgraced <0954> because of me, O sovereign <0136> Lord <03069> and king <06635>! Let none <0408> who seek <01245> you be ashamed <03637> because of me, O God <0430> of Israel <03478>!
7For <03588> I suffer <05375> humiliation <02781> for your sake <05921> and am thoroughly disgraced <03639> <03680>.
8My own brothers <0251> treat <01961> me like a stranger <02114>; they act as if I were a foreigner <05237>.
9Certainly <03588> zeal <07068> for your house <01004> consumes <0398> me; I endure the insults <02778> <02781> of those who insult <05307> you.
10I weep <01058> and refrain from eating food <06685>, which causes <01961> others to insult <02781> me.
11I wear <03830> <05414> sackcloth <08242> and they <01992> ridicule <04912> me.
12Those who sit <03427> at the city gate <08179> gossip <07878> about me; drunkards <07941> <08354> mock me in their songs <05058>.
13O Lord <03068>, may you hear my <0589> prayer <08605> and be favorably <07522> disposed to me! O God <0430>, because of your great <07230> loyal love <02617>, answer <06030> me with your faithful <0571> deliverance <03468>!
14Rescue <05337> me from the mud <02916>! Don’t <0408> let me sink <02883>! Deliver <05337> me from those who hate <08130> me, from the deep <04615> water <04325>!
15Don’t <0408> let the current <04325> <07641> overpower <07857> me! Don’t <0408> let the deep <04688> swallow <01104> me up <01104>! Don’t <0408> let the pit <0875> devour <0332> me!
16Answer <06030> me, O Lord <03068>, for <03588> your loyal love <02617> is good <02896>! Because of your great <07230> compassion <07356>, turn <06437> toward <0413> me!
17Do not <0408> ignore <05641> your servant <05650>, for <03588> I am in trouble <06887>! Answer <06030> me right away <04118>!
18Come near <07126> me and redeem <01350> me! Because of <04616> my enemies <0341>, rescue <06299> me!
19You <0859> know <03045> how I am insulted <02781>, humiliated <01322> and disgraced <03639>; you can see all <03605> my enemies <06887>.
20Their insults <02781> are painful <07665> and make <05136> me lose <05136> heart <03820>; I look for <06960> sympathy <05110>, but receive none <0369>, for comforters <05162>, but find <04672> none <03808>.
21They put <05414> bitter poison <07219> into my food <01267>, and to quench my thirst <06772> they give <08248> me vinegar <02558> to drink <08248>.
22May their dining table <07979> become a trap <06341> before <06440> them! May it be a snare <04170> for that group of friends <07965>!
23May their eyes <05869> be blinded <07200> <02821>! Make them shake violently <04571> <08548>!
24Pour out <08210> your judgment <02195> on <05921> them! May your raging <02740> anger <0639> overtake <05381> them!
25May their camp <02918> become <01961> desolate <08074>, their tents <0168> uninhabited <03427> <01961> <0408>!
26For <03588> they harass <07291> the one whom <0834> you <0859> discipline <05221>; they spread <05608> the news <05608> about <0413> the suffering <04341> of those whom you punish <02491>.
27Hold <05414> them accountable <05771> for <05921> all their sins <05771>! Do not <0408> vindicate <06666> them!
28May their names be deleted <04229> from the scroll <05612> of the living <02416>! Do not <0408> let their names be listed <03789> with <05973> the godly <06662>!
29I <0589> am oppressed <06041> and suffering <03510>! O God <0430>, deliver <03444> and protect <07682> me!
30I will sing praises <01984> to God’s <0430> name <08034>! I will magnify <01431> him as I give <08426> him thanks <08426>!
31That will please <03190> the Lord <03068> more than an ox <07794> or a bull <06499> with horns <07160> and hooves <06536>.
32The oppressed <06035> look <07200> on– let them rejoice <08055>! You who seek <01875> God <0430>, may you be encouraged <03824> <02421>!
33For <03588> the Lord <03068> listens <08085> to <0413> the needy <034>; he does not <03808> despise <0959> his captive people <0615>.
34Let the heavens <08064> and the earth <0776> praise <01984> him, along with the seas <03220> and everything <03605> that swims <07430> in them!
35For <03588> God <0430> will deliver <03467> Zion <06726> and rebuild <01129> the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and his people will again live <03427> in them and possess <03423> Zion.
36The descendants <02233> of his servants <05650> will inherit <05157> it, and those who are loyal <0157> to him <08034> will live <07931> in it.
