Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship: All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: Surely every man is vanity. Selah

For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth.

Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,)

Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit.

They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust.

Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.

He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas:

O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone.

The king's strength also loveth justice; Thou dost establish equity; Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust.

For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: Quicken thou me according to thy word.

Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes.

Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes; For their deceit is falsehood.

Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
