¹ Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

⁷ Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

¹ If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

¹ They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

¹ When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

¹ Except Jehovah build the house, They labor in vain that build it: Except Jehovah keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain.

¹ Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.

¹ Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,

⁵³ They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.

⁵⁴ Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off.

⁵⁵ I called upon thy name, O Jehovah, out of the lowest dungeon.

² And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, `And' thou heardest my voice.

³ For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.

⁴ And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

¹ Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

¹ I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

¹⁶ He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁶ Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.

¹⁷ The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.

¹⁸ Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.

² He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

¹ Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.

² I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

¹⁴ Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

¹⁵ Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep shallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

²⁰ Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

⁶ Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.

⁷ Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah

³ The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴ Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

¹ I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?

⁴ The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁵ The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.

⁶ In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry before him came into his ears.
