3 I am the man seeing affliction by the rod of his fury.
2 He led me and brought about darkness and not light.
3 Surely, against me he turned; his hand twisted all day.
4 He exhausted my flesh and my skin; he shattered my bones.
5 He built up against me and made a surrounding of bitterness and hardship.
6 He makes me dwell in dark places like the dead of long ago.
7 He built a wall around me and I cannot escape. He made my chains heavy.
8 Even though I call out and cry for help, he blocks my prayer.
9 He built a wall around my way with hewn stone; he perverted my paths.
10 He is a bear ready to ambush me, a lion in hiding.
11 He disordered my paths and tore me apart; he has made me desolate.
12 He bent his bow and set me up like a target for an arrow.
13 He pierced my kidneys with the arrows of his quiver.
14 I became a joke to all the peoples, their taunt all day.
15 He filled me with bitterness; he forced me to drink wormwood.
16 And he made my teeth grind with gravel; he made me cower in the dust.
17 And my soul is deprived of peace; I have forgotten good.
18 And I said, “My endurance has perished and my hope in Yahweh.”
19 Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and bitterness.
20 It continually remembers and my soul melts within me.
21 This I return to my heart; therefore, I have hope.
22 The steadfast love of Yahweh does not cease; his mercy does not end.
23 They are new morning by morning; great is your faithfulness.
24 “Yahweh is my portion,” my soul said; therefore, I will hope in him.
25 Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul seeking him.
26 It is good to wait and be silent for the salvation of Yahweh.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 Let him sit alone and be silent when it is laid upon him.
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust; perhaps there is hope.
30 Let him give his cheek to the one striking him; let him be filled with reproach.
31 For the Lord will not withhold forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he will be merciful according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
33 For he does not afflict from his heart or grieve the sons of man.
34 Crushing under his feet all the prisoners of the earth;
35 denying a man justice before the face of the Most High;
36 perverting a man in his dispute—the Lord does not approve.
37 Who has spoken this and it happened, if the Lord did not command?
38 Did not trouble and good come forth from the mouth of the Most High?
39 How can a person, a living man, complain about his guilt?
40 Let us examine our ways and let us seek and return to Yahweh.
41 Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to God in heaven.
42 We have surely transgressed and disobeyed you; you did not pardon.
43 You wrapped in anger and pursued us; you slayed; you showed no pity.
44 You wrapped yourself in a cloud, from a prayer passing through.
45 You made us an outcast and garbage among the nations.
46 They open their mouth against us, all our enemies.
47 Panic and pitfall have come for us, ruin and destruction.
48 My eyes flow with streams of water because the daughter of my people are destroyed.
49 My eye pours forth and it does not cease. There was no relief,
50 until he looked down and Yahweh saw from heaven.
51 My eyes grieve my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Surely, my enemies hunted me like a bird without cause.
53 They silenced my life with a pit and threw a stone on me.
54 They made water overflow over my head. I said, ‘I have been cut off!’
55 I called your name, O Yahweh, from the depths of the pit.
56 You heard my voice. ‘Do not shut your ear to my relief, to my cry for help.’
57 You came near in the day I called you; you said, ‘Do not fear.’
58 O Lord, you defended the dispute of my soul; you saved my life.
59 O Yahweh, you saw my affliction; judge my case.
60 You have seen all their insults, all their plots against me.
61 You have heard their scorn, O Yahweh, all their plots against me.
62 The lips of my assailants and their songs are against me all day.
63 Look! their sitting and rising, their songs are against me.
64 You, O Yahweh, will return to them a payment according to the deeds of their hands.
65 Give them an insolent heart; your condemnation be upon them!
66 You pursue in anger and destroy them from under heaven, O Yahweh.
