1 - I <FI>am<Fi> the man <FI>who<Fi> hath seen affliction By the rod of His wrath.

2 - Me He hath led, and causeth to go <FI>in<Fi> darkness, and without light.

3 - Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all the day.

4 - He hath worn out my flesh and my skin. He hath broken my bones.

5 - He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and weariness.

6 - In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.

7 - He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.

8 - Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer.

9 - He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.

10 - A bear lying in wait He <FI>is<Fi> to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.

11 - My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces, He hath made me a desolation.

12 - He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.

13 - He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His quiver.

14 - I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.

15 - He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me <FI>with<Fi> wormwood.

16 - And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me with ashes.

17 - And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten prosperity.

18 - And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from Jehovah.

26 - Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah.

27 - Good for a man that he beareth a yoke in his youth.

28 - He sitteth alone, and is silent, For He hath laid <FI>it<Fi> upon him.

29 - He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope.

30 - He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach.

31 - For the Lord doth not cast off to the age.

32 - For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness.

33 - For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.

34 - To bruise under one's feet any bound ones of earth,

35 - To turn aside the judgment of a man, Over-against the face of the Most High,

36 - To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord hath not approved.

37 - Who <FI>is<Fi> this--he hath said, and it is, <FI>And<Fi> the Lord hath not commanded <FI>it<Fi> ?

43 - Thou hast covered Thyself with anger, And dost pursue us; Thou hast slain--Thou hast not pitied.

44 - Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, So that prayer doth not pass through.

45 - Offscouring and refuse Thou dost make us In the midst of the peoples.

46 - Opened against us their mouth have all our enemies.

47 - Fear and a snare hath been for us, Desolation and destruction.

48 - Rivulets of water go down my eye, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49 - Mine eye is poured out, And doth not cease without intermission,

50 - Till Jehovah looketh and seeth from the heavens,

51 - My eye affecteth my soul, Because of all the daughters of my city.

52 - Hunted me sore as a bird have my enemies without cause.

53 - They have cut off in a pit my life, And they cast a stone against me.

54 - Flowed have waters over my head, I have said, I have been cut off.

55 - I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit.

56 - My voice Thou hast heard, Hide not Thine ear at my breathing--at my cry.

57 - Thou hast drawn near in the day I call Thee, Thou hast said, Fear not.

58 - Thou hast pleaded, O Lord, the pleadings of my soul, Thou hast redeemed my life.

59 - Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, my overthrow, Judge Thou my cause.

60 - Thou hast seen all their vengeance, All their thoughts of me.

61 - Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, All their thoughts against me,

62 - The lips of my withstanders, Even their meditation against me all the day.

63 - Their sitting down, and their rising up, Behold attentively, I <FI>am<Fi> their song.

64 - Thou returnest to them the deed, O Jehovah, According to the work of their hands.

65 - Thou givest to them a covered heart, Thy curse to them.

66 - Thou pursuest in anger, and destroyest them, From under the heavens of Jehovah!
