I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

O Lord , truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.

I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord , according unto thy word.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
