The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.

In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came before him, even into his ears.

Then trouble and shock came on the earth; and the bases of the mountains were moved and shaking, because he was angry.

They came on me in the day of my trouble; but the Lord was my support.

When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.

Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.

This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

But as for me, when they were ill I put on the clothing of sorrow: I went without food and was sad, and my prayer came back again to my heart.

But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.

But he came to an end, and there was no sign of him; I made a search for him and he was not there.

Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.

He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.

See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;

The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.

When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

But to you did I send up my cry, O Lord; in the morning my prayer came before you.

Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them.

Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.

Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.

He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.

At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,

His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.

And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.

But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.
