They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.

I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

To you I call, O Lord,
My rock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You are silent to me,
I will become like those who go down to the pit (grave).

Because of all my enemies I have become a reproach and disgrace,
Especially to my neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me on the street run from me.

Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,
In whose mouth are no arguments.

Every one of them has turned aside and fallen away;
Together they have become filthy and corrupt;
There is no one who does good, no, not even one.

I have become estranged from my brothers
And an alien to my mother’s sons.

May their table [with all its abundance and luxury] become a snare [to them];
And when they are in peace [secure at their sacrificial feasts], may it become a trap.

How they are destroyed in a moment!
They are completely swept away by sudden terrors!

We have become an object of taunting to our neighbors [because of our humiliation],
A derision and mockery to those who encircle us.

All who pass along the road rob him;
He has become the scorn of his neighbors.

Consider thoughtfully, you senseless (stupid ones) among the people;
And you [dull-minded] fools, when will you become wise and understand?

But the Lord has become my high tower and defense,
And my God the rock of my refuge.

“Even they will perish, but You endure;
Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment.
Like clothing You will change them and they shall be changed.

You [O Lord] make darkness and it becomes night,
In which prowls about every wild beast of the forest.

I also have become a reproach and an object of taunting to others;
When they see me, they shake their heads [in derision].

The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.

I will give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me;
And You have become my salvation [my Rescuer, my Savior].

The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.

For I have become like a wineskin [blackened and shriveled] in the smoke [in which it hangs],
Yet I do not forget Your statutes.

I hate them with perfect and utmost hatred;
They have become my enemies.

Answer me quickly, O Lord, my spirit fails;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down into the pit (grave).
