Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me.

O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.

They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;

They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.

The sun to have rule by day: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

The moon and the stars to have rule by night: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

O daughter of Babylon, whose fate is destruction; happy is the man who does to you what you have done to us.

I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.

O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.

Truly, the upright will give praise to your name: the holy will have a place in your house.

Lord, I have made my cry to you; come to me quickly; give ear to my voice, when it goes up to you.

When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.

I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living.

Take my soul out of prison, so that I may give praise to your name: the upright will give praise because of me; for you have given me a full reward.
