^{37 Ref} Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

^{38 Ref} Out of the mouth of the Most High cometh there not evil and good?

^{39 Ref} Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

^{40 Ref} Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.

^{41 Ref} Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

^{42 Ref} We have transgressed and have rebelled; thou hast not pardoned.

^{43 Ref} Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.

^{44 Ref} Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.

^{45 Ref} Thou hast made us an off-scouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.

^{46 Ref} All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.

^{47 Ref} Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and destruction.

^{48 Ref} Mine eye runneth down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

^{49 Ref} Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

^{50 Ref} Till Jehovah look down, and behold from heaven.

^{51 Ref} Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

^{52 Ref} They have chased me sore like a bird, they that are mine enemies without cause.

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

^{54 Ref} Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off.

^{55 Ref} I called upon thy name, O Jehovah, out of the lowest dungeon.

^{56 Ref} Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

^{57 Ref} Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou saidst, Fear not.

^{58 Ref} O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

^{59 Ref} O Jehovah, thou hast seen my wrong; judge thou my cause.

^{60 Ref} Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.

^{61 Ref} Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, and all their devices against me,

^{62 Ref} The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

^{63 Ref} Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.

^{64 Ref} Thou wilt render unto them a recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands.

^{65 Ref} Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse unto them.

^{66 Ref} Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.
