He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.

The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God.

He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.

And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, if thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, thou God of truth.

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:

their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king's palace.

Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,

Let death seize upon them, let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwellings, in their midst.

And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.

Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof. Selah.

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth;

He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;

Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of waters, and the flood overfloweth me.

Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.

Until I went into the sanctuaries of God; then understood I their end.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

And turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, that they could not drink;

And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;

{A Psalm of Asaph.} O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance: thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

And render unto our neighbours, sevenfold into their bosom, their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

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

Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?

So that I swore in mine anger, that they should not enter into my rest.

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts;

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise; give thanks unto him, bless his name:

He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains;

They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;

And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.

Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them:

And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground;

A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;

To him that divided the Red sea into parts, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,

If I ascend up into the heavens thou art there; or if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there;

Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal pass over.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.

Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.
