Take

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;

In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness;

My soul refused to be comforted.

Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.

For there is no one who regards me;

There is no escape for me;

No one cares for my soul.

That You set a guard over me?

And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
I am sated with disgrace and conscious of my misery.

“Behold, I go forward but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

Why has my pain been perpetual
And my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
Will You indeed be to me like a deceptive stream
With water that is unreliable?

Sorrow

And my sorrow is continually before me.

Enemy

Or he will tear my soul like a lion,

Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.

From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established

strength

Because of Your adversaries,
To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins,

And You have uprooted the cities;
The very memory of them has perished.

To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.

From the wicked who despoil me,
My deadly enemies who surround me.

How long, O God, will the adversary revile,
And the enemy spurn Your name forever?

For the enemy has magnified himself!”

Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy.

Though I fall I will rise;
Though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a light for me.

Exalted

All who see me

sneer at me;

They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,

Let the lying lips be mute,
Which speak arrogantly against the righteous
With pride and contempt.

As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

You make us a byword among the nations,
A

laughingstock among the peoples.

Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us,

For we are greatly filled with contempt.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.

Her enemies prosper;
For the Lord has caused her grief
Because of the multitude of her transgressions;
Her little ones have gone away
As captives before the adversary.
