Though I am like a wineskin dried by smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.

All Your commandments are faithful; I am persecuted without cause-help me!

I am Yours; save me, for I have sought Your precepts.

I am severely afflicted, O LORD; revive me through Your word.

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

I am lowly and despised, but I do not forget Your precepts.

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.

If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.

Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Wipe out all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.

I am on the brink of utter ruin in the midst of the whole assembly."

Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am cleansed from my sin"?

The words of Agur son of Jakeh-the oracle that this man declard to Ithiel: "I am weary, O God, and worn out.

Surely I am the most ignorant of men, and I lack the understanding of a man.

I am dark yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

Do not stare because I am dark, for the sun has looked upon me. My mother's sons were angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have neglected.

I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valley.

Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.

My beloved is mine and I am his; he pastures his flock among the lilies.
