Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick;

But I am afflicted and in pain; let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

Let them be ashamed and abashed that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt. Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say: 'Aha, aha.' Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; But I am poor and needy; O God, make haste unto me; {P}

I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge.

Nevertheless I am continually with Thee; Thou holdest my right hand.

Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.

I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt;

Keep my soul, for I am godly;

I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help;

Thou hast put 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 at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.

But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.

I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.

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

In return for my love they are my adversaries; but I am all prayer.

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

I am gone like the shadow when it lengtheneth; I am shaken off as the locust.
