A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjamite.
O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge;
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,


All Your commandments are faithful;
They have persecuted me with a lie; help me!

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies.

Shin.
Princes persecute me without cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your words.

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

Remember me, take notice of me,
And take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
Do not, in view of Your patience, take me away;
Know that for Your sake I endure reproach.

We are worn out, there is no rest for us.


Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me
As a man of strife and a man of contention to all the land!

Yet everyone curses me.

And take vengeance for me on my persecutors.

Do not be a terror to me; You are my refuge in the day of disaster. read more.

Should good be repaid with evil? For they have dug a pit for me Remember how I stood before You To speak good on their behalf, So as to turn away Your wrath from them. read more.
Therefore, give their children over to famine And deliver them up to the power of the sword; And let their wives become childless and widowed Let their men also be smitten to death, Their young men struck down by the sword in battle. May an outcry be heard from their houses, When You suddenly bring raiders upon them; For they have dug a pit to capture me And hidden snares for my feet. Yet You, O LORD, know All their deadly designs against me; Do not forgive their iniquity Or blot out their sin from Your sight But may they be overthrown before You; Deal with them in the time of Your anger!

"Thus says the LORD, 'This city will certainly be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon and he will capture it.'" read more.

So King Zedekiah said, "Behold, he is in your hands; for the king can do nothing against you." Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchijah the king's son, which was in the court of the guardhouse; and they let Jeremiah down with ropes Now in the cistern there was no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud.
