1	To the chief Musician# upon Shoshannim, +FO A Psalm of David. Save# me, O God; for the waters are come# in unto my soul.
			2	I sink# in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come# into deep waters, where the floods overflow# me. [deep mire: Heb. the mire of depth] [deep waters: Heb. depth of waters]
			3	I am weary# of my crying# : my throat is dried# : mine eyes fail# while I wait# for my God.
			4	They that hate# me without a cause are more# than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy# me, being mine enemies# wrongfully, are mighty# : then I restored# that which I took not away# .
			5	O God, thou knowest# my foolishness; and my sins are not hid# from thee. [sins: Heb. guiltiness]
			6	Let not them that wait# on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed# for my sake: let not those that seek# thee be confounded# for my sake, O God of Israel.
			7	Because for thy sake I have borne# reproach; shame hath covered# my face.
			8	I am become a stranger# unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
			9	For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up# ; and the reproaches of them that reproached# thee are fallen# upon me.
			10	When I wept# , and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
			11	I made# sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
			12	They that sit in# the gate speak# against me; and I was the song of the drunkards# # . [drunkards: Heb. drinkers of strong drink]
			13	But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear# me, in the truth of thy salvation.
			14	Deliver# me out of the mire, and let me not sink# : let me be delivered# from them that hate# me, and out of the deep waters.
			15	Let not the waterflood# overflow# me, neither let the deep swallow me up# , and let not the pit shut# her mouth upon me.
			16	Hear# me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn# unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
			17	And hide# not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble# : hear# me speedily. [hear...: Heb. make haste to hear me]
			18	Draw nigh# unto my soul, and redeem# it: deliver# me because of mine enemies# .
			19	Thou hast known# my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries# are all before thee.
			20	Reproach hath broken# my heart; and I am full of heaviness# : and I looked# for some to take pity# , but there was none; and for comforters# , but I found# none. [to take...: Heb. to lament with me]
			21	They gave# me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink# .
			22	Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
			23	Let their eyes be darkened# , that they see# not; and make their loins continually to shake# .
			24	Pour out# thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold# of them.
			25	Let their habitation be desolate# ; and let none dwell# in their tents. [their habitation: Heb. their palace] [let none...: Heb. let there not be a dweller]
			26	For they persecute# him whom thou hast smitten# ; and they talk# to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. [those...: Heb. thy wounded]
			27	Add# iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come# into thy righteousness. [iniquity unto...: or, punishment of iniquity, etc]
			28	Let them be blotted# out of the book of the living, and not be written# with the righteous.
			29	But I am poor and sorrowful# : let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high# .
			30	I will praise# the name of God with a song, and will magnify# him with thanksgiving.
			31	This also shall please# the LORD better# than an ox or bullock that hath horns# and hoofs# .
			32	The humble shall see# this, and be glad# : and your heart shall live# that seek# God. [humble: or, meek]
			33	For the LORD heareth# the poor, and despiseth# not his prisoners.
			34	Let the heaven and earth praise# him, the seas, and every thing that moveth# therein. [moveth: Heb. creepeth]
			35	For God will save# Zion, and will build# the cities of Judah: that they may dwell# there, and have it in possession# .
			36	The seed also of his servants shall inherit# it: and they that love# his name shall dwell# therein.
