⁷ 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.

⁶ I will make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.

⁷ Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;

¹¹ Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.

¹¹ We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.

²⁴ But God gave him back to life, having made him free from the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be overcome by it.

¹ The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;

¹ <Maschil. Of David. A prayer when he was in the hole of the rock.> The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.

⁷⁴ Your worshippers will see me and be glad; because my hope has been in your word.

¹⁷ <GIMEL> Give me, your servant, the reward of life, so that I may keep your word;

⁷ Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.

⁴¹ But he puts the poor man on high from his troubles, and gives him families like a flock.

⁴² The upright see it and are glad: the mouth of the sinner is stopped.

⁴ I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:

⁵ My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give no more thought; for they are cut off from your care.

⁶ You have put me in the lowest deep, even in dark places.

⁷ The weight of your wrath is crushing me, all your waves have overcome me. (Selah.)

⁸ You have sent my friends far away from me; you have made me a disgusting thing in their eyes: I am shut up, and not able to come out.

² My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.

⁸ And you have not given me into the hand of my hater; you have put my feet in a wide place.

²¹ Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.

²² I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.

²³ You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.

²⁴ For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

²⁵ My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.

²⁶ The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

²⁷ All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.

¹⁴ So that I may make clear all your praise in the house of the daughter of Zion: I will be glad because of your salvation.

³ When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.

⁶ Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.

⁷ The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.
